The Valentine Pieces

The Valentine Pieces
(Danny O’Keefe)

(If my lady pleases, at last
This heart of mine
Drips color to the page
In shades of love and rage)

Sittin’ by the window
Lost in my old easy chair
The romance is gone
But the fire lingers on a while

Lookin’ out the window
I could be anywhere but I’m here
Really no where at all
My face frozen into a smile

The Valentine Pieces litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom

Anywhere the wind blows
Is still such a long ways alone
The castle will fall
There’ll be no one to stand by the throne

The flowers and the candy litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom

Sittin’ by the window
Watchin’ the sun goin’ down
Lost in a dream
Life’s just what it seems to be
The Valentine Pieces litter the floor of my room
I should go get the broom
