Objects In Motion

Objects in motion tend to stay that way
 You can't waste the whole damn day
 Loving what you need to cast away
 Case in Point, just yesterday
 I found a suitcase full of love letters
 Floating down a cool brown river
 Unsigned and undelivered
 They set my mind to wandering
 As to the history of the unknown writer
 Did she marry, did she run
 Was she old, was she young?
 Was her heart undone by the cruel business of loving?
 These objects in motion
 These objects in motion
 Objects in motion tend to stay that way
 Or so I learned on the riverbank just yesterday
 For shortly thereafter
 I beheld as if in a dream
 The body of a young girl
 Adrift beneath the surface of the cool brown water
 My friends so unnerved was I by this cruel apparition
 That I let loose of that suitcase
 And it tumbled right back in the river
 Then spellbound I watched as a halo of love letters
 Formed a circle on the surface
 Of the water right over her body and drifted away
 These objects in motion
 These objects in motion
 Objects in motion tend to stay that way
 You can't waste the whole damn day
 Loving what you need to cast away
 For from the flame of love
 Comes the cinder of regret
 Sometimes the thing you cling to most
 Is the thing you'd best forget
 These objects in motion
 These objects in motion
