Signals                                For W.D.B.

If I could just get out the words
   get past the sighs
and teach damage control
     how to minimize-

oh his eyes leave me in longing
and his smile makes me cry.
  If I could make this easier
Babe you have to believe I�d try.

There�s a firestorm brewing,
  hiding on my other side
and I keep tripping over
   all the things that I fantasize.

I�m afraid to part my lips,
  for the squalls of celestial heat
and form the words
  scattered in a puddle �round my feet.

I don�t want to extinguish
these embers of glowing flame,
and everyday I catch myself
   sighing and calling out your name.

How do I tell you
    all the things, I cannot say
and I�m afraid, if I told you
        that it would push you away.
