Paper Towel
**********I'm not immune so I commune
With the objects in my home
I am caressed by my razor
And so am not aloneI spoon an oversized pillow
I bought for such a use
And to the flowers in my garden
I am lover not recluseIf you my dear were such a flower
You would stay and only grow
And I would tend to you and water, baby
And straight up would you go
You would spread and maybe blossom
With each passing summer's day
And not the suitors from a hundred hives
Could draw your love awayThen as Autumn shut the light
Down in advance of Winter's bite
According to true lover's creed
You would not die but go to seedFor so it is with paper towels
And other things about my place
The old begets the new
And the things I need keep up to paceBut you, my dear, you're gone forever
You left no silly seed behind
Save a rotten pit it lingers
Cherry tombstone in my mind
You're not a paper towel
You're like the wind goes howlingYou fled as if the Autumn greys
Were the heralds of final days
Uprooting with your seeds and all
Cruel harvest of love's first fallYou're not a paper towel (no, no)
You're like the wind goes howling (howl)
Can't wrap you around my dowel (no, no)
You're like the wind goes howling (howl)Bring her back for me Little Bo Peep
I've got to find her - I can't go to sleep
