When am I supposed to say so long? 
When am I supposed to say so long? 

When I fall in love 'fore dusk is dawn 
When you take my hand across the lawn 
With the eyes so sweet they're like a fawn 
Red elephant is wet & long... 

How am I supposed to wash you off? 
Rungs of bad poems I've hacked & coughed 

But I have to spare a breath for you 
Which I'll take, before we make anew 
Our hearts will take a stroll for two 
Our feet will take the avenue 
& Walk in unison, so cute 
Red elephant is turning blue 

Why am I here when you're over there? 
Let's meet at the fountains 
In Dundas Square 
Who am I supposed to be with you? 
I'll wait 'til you say & pretend I knew 

Because if it's true that walls can talk 
How mine would brag of tears I've sobbed 
When thinking of the way we walked 
Along the paths of sideway chalk 
Forever under ticking clock 
Where you & I are free to flock 

What can I write when I know it's wrong? 
Slapping my knee to my own damn song 
Where can we go when the sinking stops? 
To the pit of my chest 
As it drops and drops... 

Put your head upon my chest, it breathes 
& My fingers through your hair they weave 
& Your shoulders are the perfect sea 
In which I get lost invariably 
Oh the elephant is up to sea 
If it meets the peach fish underneath 
& When I am you and you are me 
We are stirred as spoons in lover's tea
