Little Touch

from Summer Songs by Andrew Whipple

lyrics

How goes the night? Does the dark still hold you close
A lonely child hanging on to pictures of a ghost
Red, white, and blue hang from the place you used to stay
"Never again," were the last words that I heard you say
I ever heard you say

A little drop of courage and a little smile and wave
And a little touch of magic in the way your hips would shake
If you want me when you're smiling, you sure don't want me anymore
If you need me just to hold you I don't have to know the score
But just let me know

Carry on, I drive to Boston in the night
Move along, I kept the records, turned out the lights
Where are you now? Sitting under the cold fluorescent lights?
Still playing loud? 'Cause I remember when things were right
Things were alright

We were holed up in my bedroom wearing out the Gaslight tapes
Burning holes into the ceiling, breathing fire and screaming flames
Like an angel in the morning, kiss this devil and say goodnight
Hold me closer, you whispered sweetly "Turn it to Mulholland Drive"
But not tonight
