Venice

Why call it confirmation
So we saw it first
I've too much admiration
For girls selling used books
You've always known how to
Find a chair to either your
Liking or mine

What in my hands is some summer luck
Nothing but a nuisance and two months rent
And love on a boat never meant to float
Venice is a state of mind
Leave me my time

I'd like to see our characters
Forget what they sought
Dusting off banisters
Without a second thought
But what have you caught
There in your net
'Cause that's no butterfly

I can trap the morning in my coffee mug
And keep it safe till ducks touch bottom tub
Along side a boat never meant to float
Venice is a state of mine
Leave me my time

Venice is a state of mind
It’s a state of mine
