my best wife

1v-
of all my wives and lovers
you were the right misfit for me
la jolla knoll under moonlight
you were the best of wives to me
my winding road led to your sea
the deep blue california sea

2v-
so take me home upon the water
and place my ashes on the sea
keep me safe inside your memories
and only use them when you dream
only use them when you dream

c-
think of all the times i loved you
and cull the herd of pain gone bye
read the love poems you inspired
but don't feel sad enough for tears
cause i can feel them in your eyes

3v-
and i recall that once you mentioned
that you never met a man like me
you gave your love without condition
tho hardness was your life with me
my tears could flow without permission
you were the best of wives to me
you were the best of wives to me
