Nicole Ockmond: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

This is one of my favorites. I wrote it the morning after a particularly romantic evening.

lying on the couch
cradling you in my arms
staring at the shapes
the candelight creates on the walls
electric stars laced through indoor trees
music quietly playing from a Sexton cd
listen to him play his guitar
sofly filling up the duplex
with it's sweet sad sexy sound
speaking to each other in whispers
though no one else is around

don't need much money baby
easy to please
just a bottle of red wine
simple pleasures like these
we can sit for hours
don't ever want to leave
time stands still here
for simple pleasures like these

bright days bright ways
lover sleep on in
lie your body next to mine
sun's just shining in
when you're gone
scents still linger on
shirt you wore lying on the floor
touch my hair my love
tell me how you care my love
angle sent down from up above
sweet is your way
your kiss your feel
stay...

don't need much money baby
easy to please
your body next to mine
simple pleasures like these
we can lay for hours
don't ever want to leave
time stands still here
for simple pleasures like these
