I'm strong.
I'm strong and I'll stay that way
As long as I've got my dusty book friends
To compose new worlds for me to escape to.
As long as I've got the paintings
Beautiful and infinite rough seas by the solemn wise man
Or skin and colour, winding steps and dark chattering promises brushed by the young one with the agile imagination.
As long as I've got my music
To ferry me to deserted islands with
warm inspirational quicksand
I wouldn't care
About leaving
About being tipped a little too far
I'll spill my love, I'll spill my laughter
But to me, I'll never be less than half-full
So you're welcome

I love the last line. In a way, the rest of the line builds up to it... I don't know, its hard to explain. I really liked the way you offered the 'Taste', it gave a really great effect. b-g xxxx
