Sim Sala Bim

He was so kind such a gentleman tied to the oceanside

Lighting a match on the suitcase's latch in the fading of night

Ruffle the fur of the collie 'neath the table

Ran out the door through the dark

Carved out his initials in the bark

Then the Earth shook

That was all that it took for the dream to break

All the loose ends would surround me again in the shape of your face

What makes me love you despite the reservations

What do I see in your eyes

Besides my reflection hanging high

Are you off somewhere reciting incantations

Sim sala bim on your tongue

Carving off the hair of someone's young

Remember when you had me cut your hair

Call me Delilah then I wouldn't care
