Mother Of Pearl

I've lived and loved with lovers,
Some I've even spoken to.
I remember many, and forgot others.
But they begin and end with you.

I'm a bitter old man,
And an odd little boy.
I'd forgotten my plan,
And been used as a toy.

But when you live so long,
And so briefly, yes that too.
The most tired endless song,
It's hard to decide what to do.

But you make decisions easy,
A smile from you and the spinning ceased
You don't care that I was sleazy.
You make an end to my vile inner beast.

I love you, lady, mother of pearl,
I love you with all of my body, and brain.
Though you were lost, my living girl.
It's always been you that kept me sane.
