Like the beat comma beat comma beat of the tom hyphen tom,
When the jungle
shadows fall.
Like the tick hyphen tick hyphen tock of the stately
clock,
As it stands against the wall.
Like the drip comma drip comma drip
of the raindrops,
When the summer shower is through.
Some voice within me
keeps repeating
Colon, quotation mark.
You comma you comma you,
exclamation point.
Close quotation, period, dash.
Night and day, comma.
You are the one, dash.
Only to you comma beneath
the moon comma and under the sun.
Semicolon.
Whether near to me or far,
dot dot dot,
It's no matter comma darling comma where you are, dash.
I
think of you, comma.
Night and day, period. New paragraph.
Night and day,
exclamation point.
Under the height of me. Dash.
There's an oh such a
hungry yearning comma
Burning parenthesis inside of me.
Closed
parenthesis, period.
(Well, "inside of me" is a parenthetical phrase that
describes where the yearning is burning.)
And torment won't be
through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you.
Asterisk!
('Cause there's a footnote at the bottom that tells who's making
love to who.)
Spend my life making love to you.
Day and night?
Night
and day, question mark.
Night and day.
