Frank O'Hara - Sea Wolf

Frank O’Hara

Standing in the subway

Imagined you beside me

As if you could hide me

Love won that day

Lifted all of us up

What would you have written?

Would words have even been enough?

Drove through deserts

Garbage in the meadows

Saw ourselves in windows

Hidden in the shadows

No one really knew us

Not the way we wanted

So we had to listen

To the voices haunting us

So this is love

This is love

So this is love

This is love

Frank O’Hara

Wish you could’ve been there

You, me and mother

And all your former lovers

I was always with you

Though we’re not the same

I know what it was to

Grow up with the shame

So this is love

This is love

So this is love

This is love

So this is love

This is love

So this is love

This is love

Frank O’Hara

Standing in the subway

What would you have written?

Would words have even been enough?
