TONIGHT

I shall let down my hair tonight

Honey let me be home

I’ve been everywhere for everyone

Tonight let me live for my own

I shall wipe away my makeup

Would my raw scare you?

Would you appreciate what you see?

I’ve always put up masks

But tonight please let me be

Would my skin show how nude I am?

Would my feet show where I stand?

Would my hands hold all that needs to be held?

Would my love take you to places you have never dwelt?

Would my unwaxed legs prove my rough?

Honey you say Im fragile

Tonight I shall prove I am tough

I wont utter a word

I shall let my scars tell you where I have been

I may sound absurd

But tonight I am coming clean

Tonight I shall ask my soul

If you are my mate

For I have put down my walls

and opened my gate
