Outstretched Arms and Greedy Fingers

Just as the stars in the Heavens' air
just as the back of my hair
just as the birds all around
the tongue to the elbow can compare

just as my reflection
just as poetic perfection
just as a storybook ending
to add to my collection

just as the material the math teachers teach
just as the horizon you see from any beach
you, my love. my only love
are just a LITTLE out of reach
