i want to walk down the aisle of a church in albany
soon, but not too soon
while 'jesus, bleibet meine freude' swells from the organ and floats up high
i want to glow and try not to cry while you glow and try not to cry
and your brown eyes reflect kindness and passion and the saints on the windows
we will be shocked by each other's beauty
as we promise father bradley that we will forsake all others
and i want you to know that
i relish your boyish grin
when you win scratch offs or you kiss me
it reminds me of twizzlers at hockey games
and the cigarettes i'll make you quit
soon, but not too soon

that's my favorite bach piece!
