"Aquamarine" by David Buchalter

Of all the ways to paint a room I never thought I'd see
The aqua-marine carefully chosen by you

I sit down pour a drink your smile has nothing to do
at all with me, suddenly I see you're blue

Funny thing to fall in love covering a wall
I find I fall each time we follow through

So tonight you want to hide your pouring a drink
I don't find the use covering the truth from me,

So you'll say it's no one's fault I've got my walls too
To tell you the truth everyone one is blue and green

By midnight it'll be dry it's odorless paint
the brush marks will fade you're tired and want to sleep

By sunrise your soft sighs will all be opaque
We'll define our sake as something between green and blue

You put down a rug to go with your wall,
I stand up tall, you show me your ladder will do

Of all the ways to paint a room, I never thought I'd see
The aqua-marine carefully painting with you

From a dark daze of pain and gloom I never thought I'd reach
The aqua-marine of carefully being chosen by you.

Nice use of the word "Sake". Also did you mean aquamarine wall or RED WALL?

[dsbuchalter]

Keen ear, Beaner--your right on to hint at what subtends the substance of the subtext--the oblique allusion to the "Aquamarine-town's doubt lift" by way of the maternal lines, as interpenetrated with WAILING, aka, Mobyius, i.e. strip, i.e. Vegas, i.e. the complex of chance.

it's cool you can change the color of your video..but cannot see your face clearly which is bad..

[dsbuchalter]

If you think the occlusion is bad, you should see the face! ;)

Thanks for watching and for your comment.
