Kiss Me
“Kiss Me”
Purple is the color of
My true love’s hair
She tied it in a knot
And bound it with a yellow bow.
Said kiss me if you want.
Orange is the color of
My true love’s nails
She put a diamond on each one,
Said kiss me if you want.
Green is the color of
My true love’s eyes
She grew her lashes long
Penciled in her brows
Much to my surprise,
Said kiss me if you want.
Gold is the color
Of that jewel on her tongue
She put it there forever
Never to come out,
Said kiss me if you want.
Black is the color
Of an eagle on her back
She bought it in Saint Louie
From a man named Tim Dewey,
Said kiss it if you want.
So naïve am I
I kissed her everywhere
And still dream of eagle feathers
Way down there.
