Alice Says Yes

Alice Says Yes - Ferron

First comes the kiss

Then comes the hands too hot to touch

Feeling like this

I want to be with you so much

Driving to work in the morning

Everyone's house looks warm inside

I can't believe what thinking I'm

I've got to be out of my mind

When you give me a cactus flower

I figure you're telling me how it is

We make love it's a cosmic shower

And I miss you

Are we friends too

I talk to my sister about it all

To see what she did when she was here

She tells me don't give up your freedom

Which goes to show freedom is not so clear

I'm alive in my center

And true to the core is in how

I feel

And I don't believe I have entered

The place she says where when nothing's real

You give me a heart shaped box

I give you a crackerjack ring

You say here I come ready

Or not

And I say I'd do anything for you

I call up my old friends to tell them

Any excuse to say your name

Finally I'm touched and I'm open

Fear and elation now feel the same

More and more often

I wave off friends to stay alone

The life of the party is nothing

Compared to the mystery that waits at home

When you give me a brown care bear

I give you a miniature moving van

When you tell me that brown bear cares

I say yes we can yes we can

Every move you never made

Every word you could not say

Every cry you cried alone

Can remain with us instead

There's a bird for every sky

And a fish for every sea

And there everything that's in between

Is where it is

Is what it is
