R. Stevie Moore
Tons
In my colored room
Tons of feeling have come
Full emotion of one
I can recall the good and bad
Joy and yet many tons of sad
Life has put my rushed youth
From denim to mere awareness
My mouth has laughed
But tons of tears erase my smile
My blue eyes have read the word
Tons of literature
Smell of flowery pure
Tons of tunes I can't forget
And the girl who I met
Of brown love long brown hair
My possession of love
I knew that she'd always be there
At my side, at my side
Sharon, your vice remarks "I do"
Yes, but what do you do?
Yours is as mine is and I know
Our love's ready to show
Near my mind lies a pasture
Of crispened memories
Tons of happiness reign
As perpetual joy remains
Now I go to sleep beneath my quilt
And I think of today
As I'm singing away
You will love me til the night
When my heart is shut tight
Tons of you will excite
Tons of our love tonight
