Distill

 

If I could distill you, darling would you mind? 
I'll keep your essence safely bottled for all time. 
But you are like no fine wine,
  
remind me of Mountain Shine. 
You leave a burn as you're going down. 
And run straight up to my mind.
  
You say "I'll love you forever"
  
and I hate to say you're wrong. 
But we'll never get that old dear.
  
We'll never live that long.
  
If I could refine you. Tell me would that be alright. 
I'd keep it safe on my mantle, In an urn all seal up tight. 
But you're like no sacred ashes. 
Remind me more of cocaine. 
You make my heart beat too fast, 
And you hollow out my brain. 
You say "I'll love you forever"
  
and I hate to say you're wrong. 
But we'll never get that old dear.
  
We'll never live that long. 
If I could contain you, perhaps then I'd be still. 
Perhaps in some other lifetime,
  
we'll know how, and we will. 
But if you let your head fall off, We'll never get to see. 
You raise up a Daisy Olive on only sounds I can see.
