YOU WERE ME AND I WAS YOU song lyrics NERUDA 9
by Joel Sattler

[based on the ninth poem of 20 Love Poems
by Pablo Neruda]

turpentine drunk with long kisses
sailing summer on the roses
twisting to the thin day death
cemented in marine psychosis

pallid lashed to hungry waters
the salty smell of naked zone
dressed in gray and bitter sound
crested with abandoned foam

inebriated kissing you
we made one heart out of two
I was you and you were me
you were me and I was you

hard riding on the perfect wave
moon and sun, hot and cold
sleeping in the lucky throat
white sand islands sweet and bold

trembling with the wet night kisses
shocked insane electric misses
dividing up heroic dreams
drunken roses practice me

upstream in the outer waves
parallel you in my arms
forever fishing stuck to soul
under sky both fast and slow

inebriated kissing you
we made one heart out of two
I was you and you were me
you were me and I was you
