Michigan Cherry

Tart and sweet like a wild berry
Tart and sweet your words to me
Dark and red like a Michigan cherry
Dark and red as the Iliad sea

Here we lie in the deep night ready
Here we lie, our skin is bare
I'm unsure but the river’s steady
I'm unsure but you take me there

My palms used to sweat
My breath used to flutter
I race to be a stoic man
To lose one to the other

But now your tongue is sharp and kind
Your words resurrect me
Tart, sweet like a wild berry
Dark and red as the Odyssey sea

In your maiden mind
What have you made in mine?

Here we lie in the deep night ready
Here we lie, our skin is bare
I'm unsure but the river’s steady
I'm unsure but you pull me under
Dark, red like a Michigan cherry
Dark and red as you take me there
