The merchant told me I should leave you alone He said your time is much too vital to lose Before I worry that he's speaking the truth You'll dissuade me I watch the children turn their head in the street They'd never seen such a remarkable thing To hear you dance across the cobble Feel my knees begin to wobble at the sight At first I gathered up the nerve to approach Collected notes I'd have the honor to share To hope an angel so adept and aware Would find wisdom To watch her eyes follow the curves of my pen Watch my metaphors relax on her lips Then I thought you caught me staring Knew I hadn't quite prepared for how you'd smile So when they've all decided their purpose here What's to become of me, dear Don't you feel all that quiet weight Please take me with you today
