The Sweet Sound of You By Jacob Scott
I love the sound of you . Your echoes live in my ears , your humming thrums in my veins . Your saxophone lips fill my world with song , sweet song , the kind that carries me through my lonely days and holds me in the cold . I love your footsteps and your knocking : Wondrous arrival . The sounds of your presence gather me up and I ’ m home . Your melancholy weeps in minor chords that pull me to you by my heartstrings . I cry for you , the beauty of your being dances in those woeful notes . You play your way across my piano-key ribs with grace , and when you laugh , the warmth fills me . Come close , Love -Song . Let me hear the music of your breath . Fill my life with soundscape virtue . Sing to me .
