A Balladeer - Copper Shades lyrics

the copper shades you wore were very big and green and I was only feather-light above the engine-roar in the smell of gasoline you'd make sure I'd hold on tight and there we'd go with no direction anywhere the wind would blow and I would ask you all these questions while your pride of me would show then in an act of love you'd pull me close and check my orange-colored water wings you'd turn the engine off and somewhere from the back we'd both jump in for a swim and there we'd go with no direction anywhere the wind would blow and I would ask you all these questions while your pride of me would show and safe in your Calypso with the world of wise Cousteau below and ice cream castles overhead now how was I to know how was I to know a towel round my chest your copper shades back on we would speed up fast and dry up by the sun
