Optimist

Hi
Hi
How are you
I’m fine
Me too
That’s good
Great
Where have you been
Waiting for you
For me
Yeah
Why
I didn’t want to start without you
Start what
The rest of our lives
How do you know
Know what
That I’m the one

blond haired
blue-eyed soldier
you kissed me on stage once
while your boyfriend looked on
now your delicate hands
wrapped awkwardly around an M-16
fall away
pulling sheep out of a bag
you'll make them all smile
always
an inverted shepherd
sending the herd home
to live in the dust
when it’s you whose lost your way
let them pray to the east
your sun sets in the west
