some parallels between not yet/love run and the rockrose and the thistle that drive me a little insane

sing me awake with a song about pirates // when you call to me asleep, up the ragged cliffs i scramble

without waking you said, “not yet, not yet” // a single thread hangs limply down, and i breathe “not now, not now”

not one, no none would raise to you a hand nor thumb, not while by you i stand and hum // i’ve run out of my words, my song, just let me die, me die

if my old mum could see me now, oh how she’d howl // all your mother’s weaves and your father’s threads, let me rob them of you now

seems to me that you can’t dance for shit // and you’ll gently gift it to me, cause you’ve no clue how to sew

all that matters is that you’re here // i know the kindest thing is to never leave you alone

not yet’s “i will try to harmonize” vs the gradual trade-off of rockrose’s lyrics, and how as joey slowly stops singing, madeleine takes over
