Funny Little Frog

Honey, lovin' you is the greatest thing
I get to be myself and I get to sing
I get to play at being irresponsible
I come home late and love your soul
I never forget you in my prayers
I never have a bad thing to report.

You're my picture on the wall
You're my vision in the hall
You're the one I'm talking to
When I get in from my work
You are my guy, and you don't even know it
I am living out the life of a poet
I am the jester in the ancient court
And you're the funny little frog in my doorway.

My eye sight's fading, my hearing's dim
I can't get insured for the state I'm in
I'm a danger to myself I've been starting fights
At the party at the club on a Saturday night
But I don't get disapproving from my boy
He gets all the highlights wrapped in joy.

You're my picture on the wall
You're my vision in the hall.

You're the one I'm talking to
When I get in from my work
You are my guy, and you don't even know it
I am living out the life of a poet
I am the jester in the ancient court
And you're the funny little frog in my throat.

I had a conversation with you at night
It's a little one sided but that's all right
I tell you in the kitchen about my day
You sit on the bed in the dark changing places
With the ghost that was there before you came
You've come to save my life again.

I don't dare to touch your hand
I don't dare to think of you
In a physical way
And I don't know how you smell
You are the cover of my magazine
You're my fashion tip, a living museum
I'd pay to visit you on rainy Sundays
And maybe tell you all about it, someday.
