Love

[deelaundry]

karaokegal asked for love, and because it was her I thought of songs, which because I am an old fogey led me around to this one.  This is dedicated to:

thedeadparrot who writes about rain
nightdog_barks, who creates whole worlds in just a few words
inlaterdays and shoedog, who might've actually heard this song
perspi, who is due any day now
daisylily, just 'cuz; and especially
fallen_arazil, my e-wife
My muse who is a fickle, fickle, fickle annoying bitch

I Do It for Your Love by Paul Simon

We were married on a rainy day
The sky was yellow
And the grass was gray
We signed the papers
And we drove away
I do it for your love

The rooms were musty
And the pipes were old
All that winter we shared a cold
Drank all the orange juice
That we could hold
I do it for your love

Found a rug
In an old junk shop
And I brought it home to you
Along the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue

The sting of reason
The splash of tears
The northern and the southern
Hemispheres
Love emerges
And it disappears
I do it for your love
I do it for your love
