song 12


it was a starry night
and though they gave up counting
there must have been dozens

there was a magic
in the air that evening
so much they forgot that we were cousins

so much they forgot that night
but with a little time 
it all came rushing back

heads already hurting 
and the revelations 
nearly brought on heart attack

she was swearing to herself
that she'd been so easy
Usually she plays hard to get

now the rules of the game
have changed – they'll have to choose
whether to play that DNA roulette

it was not the perfect moment
neither one of them 
knew what to say

it was a strange fork in the road
strangefork to choose
and they didn't know which way

in the dark the birds and bees were out
the birds were singin
the bees were buzzin

it was a starry night
and though they gave up counting
there were well over a dozen
