SIP ME LIKE SUMMER TEA

It isn't because I haven't a home
Somewhere to undress lay my head
Thirsty I drink cool, hunger well fed
But there's a dagger of desire in my heart

Been into you more than you know
Moss hasn't a chance under your feet
Several times you almost caught my eye
Blown kisses others saw except you

Sip me like summer tea
Filled to the brim, careful baby easy
Let your tongue savor chase the ice
Sip me like summer tea real nice

I've grown to hate the darkness of night
Awaken with my pillow instead of you
Guess you aren't good at reading my mind
What kind of man are you, leaving me behind

If I walked up and kissed you, then what
Claiming you mine, do I have the right
Rejection would be worse than murder
Heard your angel say, please don't hurt her

Sip me like summer tea
Filled to the brim, careful baby easy
Let your tongue savor chase the ice
Sip me like summer tea real nice

I dream of you each time melting chocolate
Caught a lovers trance tongue to strawberries
Crying in the shower so my mirror won't know
If ya have a lover hope courage lets her go

I set a place for you during dinner pretending
Helping with the dishes and yes I'll surender
You're everything romance claims to believe
A professional poker player aces up her sleeve

Sip me like summer tea real nice
Let your tongue savor chase the ice
Filled to the brim, careful baby easy
Sip me like summer tea

So my love the next time we pass in traffic
I'll grid and lock to capture, hold your attention
Give you my name and number without mention
Take you by the collar with a kiss is my intention

It isn't because I haven't a home
Somewhere to undress lay my head
Thirsty I drink cool, hunger well fed
But there's a dagger of desire in my heart

Sip me like summer tea real nice
Let your tongue savor chase the ice
Filled to the brim, careful baby easy
Sip me like summer tea

Just like summer tea
Summer tea
Summer tea
Sip me like summer tea

Marvelous. What a ride! It is sad, but strong, it is vivid with emotions, and the language, the prose, the way it is constructed, and the feel it leaves the reader ... just outstanding.

" Crying in the shower so my mirror won't know
If ya have a lover I hope courage lets her go ".

Wow. Bravissimo.
