Love in a Little Box
By Oscar S. Cisneros [ Download in MP3 ]
Wrap it up inside some string.
Put it in a little box.
Remove it from the key chain.
Shut the safe until it locks.
Throw it in the ocean
'Till it tumbles to the silt;
A slow and sinking motion
To where the sands of time are spilt.
There my love will lay,
Burning in bubbling brine,
Until that joyful day
When I can call you mine.
