ABC - If I Ever Thought You'd Be Lonely

Hold a candle to a naked flame





Ask the atheist his christian name





Try parachuting from a burning plane





Finding someone else you could blame








If I ever thought you’d be lonely





If I ever thought you’d be there





If I ever fought the alimony





Painted pony





You’d be there








Eskimo heart





Bedouin throat





A butcher trussed up in a camel hair coat





A crowning in the castle





A drowning in the moat





Ocean dried





Desert afloat








If I ever thought you’d be lonely





If I ever thought you’d be there





If I ever fought the alimony





My one and only





You’d be there








One for the lady





One for the gent





Signatures in wet cement





And if you ever ask





What I meant then I’d never know





Then I’d never know...
