Desire
J.B.

I want to make love to you - would you step aside,
not stand in the way - would you let me

is there a sliding door to push aside to get inside
somewhere to hide out of this world

men with machine guns, in black suits,
in black car, dispatched by Al Capone
unable to see me, to find me, will pass right by

with me safe inside, even from the coming
summer sun, even from the falling rain
