Duke Ellington
Oklahoma Baby
You were my Oklahoma baby
I put a ceiling over you
Under skies of atomic blue
You had eyes like gasoline
That glistens in the rain
And I put pavement in your veins
I'm a season that's never-ending
I'm a letter that you never send in
I'm a fever, I'm a phantom limb
That keeps you fatherless
But you're a tiny part of me
And I'm a tiny part of you
And you stand in front of me
And I stand in front of you
There was a time that I thought I could use your heart
As a warm and empty room
There was a time that I thought I didn't need you at all
There was never a time that I didn't love you
You were my Oklahoma baby
(I hope you're alright)
(You seem alright)
You were my Oklahoma baby
(I hope you're alright)
(You seem alright)
You were my Oklahoma baby
I put a ceiling over you
Under skies of atomic blue
Under skies of atomic blue
