The Splendor That is You

~P. Montgomery

[play mp3 sample]

I’m at the crossroads and I’m
buying an instrument
to try to make you love me more than now.

You say I do a lot,
I know I’m a do-little.
I’m nothing in comparison to you.

So if I write another song about you,
It might make up for me.
If I write a pretty song about you,
you might look straight at me.

Cause you are so way up high
and I am so damn low.

I sit here late at night
and try to qualify
why you tolerate a slob like me.

So if I write another song about you,
It might make up for me.
If I write a pretty song about you,
you might look straight at me.

Cause you are so way up high
and I am so damn low.

See my interior; it is inferior
despite this, this splendor that is you.

You’re Lake Superior to my Siberia.
The only one that’s splendor that is you.
