salt and pepper

from self cylinder by mary bue

lyrics

salt and pepper which is better
his salt and pepper hair
his peppered back
his salted kiss
and who am i but sugar and cream
wishing to be
the scent of oranges and roses
on the distant breeze

someday i'll be
orange trees in the breeze
a a misted ocean
standing on the cliff
nearly falling in

standing on the street with a cigarette
rock beach
multitude sunny sleep
who is this dream girl
how can he love
everything i do?

waiting at the station for twenty one days
but i exaggerate
and pontificate and attempt to sedate
my nerves with appeal

someday i'll be
orange trees in the breeze
