THE FOR REAL THING


The fountains of youth you leave running all night.
With someone you'll let'm all, yes let'm all run dry.
That someone will look in your eyes,
apples to apples,
a feeling inside.
Grandma's eyes sparkle and sprinkle and glow,
when it is right, my lovelies, you'll know.


It's like water and wine.
It's like darkness and light.
It's like winter and spring.
Believe you me when it is
the for real thing,
you'll just know.


I'm so scared for the weather.
Thank god we're all in this together.
Will it hit like a tropical storm?
Will it blow over and leave us alone?


Someone will look in those colander eyes.
Lucky for you you have time.
You'll just know.


When it is right it is right, babe.
You'll be bright as a bird's eye.
Shimmering in the day's light.
No one really knows quite why
you'll know how you'll know,
you'll just know.
