Little As I’d Planned (Dargan)

The words came falling from your lips
Like candy spilled behind a chair
A chocolate carpet Hershey’s kiss
Just to prove that you were there

I tasted every line you wrote
Savored every letter sent
You sang a song with just one note
I knew exactly what you meant

I dreamt you took me by surprise
But when I opened up my eyes
I could feel you standing there
See how much you cared
And tell myself these lies
Distance helps me clear my mind
And free of these distractions find
Though I swore it wasn’t true
Seems I never cared for you
Quite as little as I’d planned…

A pilgrimage to taste your voice
A holy wafer on my tongue
Two thousand miles without a choice
Fading though the night is young

The words came falling from your lips
Form in pools around my chair
But I recall there was no kiss
Words are all that you left there

I dreamt you took me by surprise
But when I opened up my eyes
I could feel you standing there
See how much you cared
And tell myself these lies
Distance helps me clear my mind
And free of these distractions find
Though I swore it wasn’t true
Seems I never cared for you
Quite as little as I’d planned…
