Jane Olivor sings Manchild
Lullaby
I almost feel she’s breathing in my ear
and oo la baby I suddenly cry
and why not as Pandora supports tears
by transcending to Whitney’s rendition
of I Will Always Love You while
sad sax
spews from deep gut and my stark contrition
turns to longing as dear Jane won’t relax
but glows with my favorite stay
the night
say you love me stay the night but
Karen
croons it’s going to take some time
all right
as Melissa looks through the eyes
of love
and I stare at the monitor, descend
to blurt plea please do let this feeling end
but Firefall interrupts just
remember
I love you and it will be all ri-ight
it will be all right it will be
all right
