Made Your Mark

I tried to write you a tango
But all we could do was stumble.
And I wanted to whisper in your ear
But all that came out was a jumble of mumbles

Chorus:

And offer it to me. Offer it to me.
And give me, give me, give me something real.
So real that I can hardly breathe.
The Green Woman, she said

So stick your tongue out at life
And just get what you can, what you can.

But you tap, tap, tapped my body’s hollows
To the count of three (one, two)
