Lyrics
Dear John or Jane
Words & Music by Joy Zimmerman
Dear John or Jane (depending)
You’re a bicycle to my fish
I’m writing to inform you
Our moonlight no longer exists
Our moonlight—a total eclipse
Dear John or Jane (depending)
You’re a pencil to my fish
I‘m writing to inform you
Your relief my fervent wish
Your escape my fervent wish
You feel the burr, I feel saddled
You’re up a creek, I’ve lost the paddle
I’m the rub, you’re the wrong way
Radioactive then decay
I am stumbling, you are blocked
Early, late by the same clock
You’re oil, I’m water in the mix
Endless splinters, pick-up sticks
Dear John or Jane (depending)
You’re a radio to my fish
I’m writing to inform you
Our sand too often quick
Our land filled with seismic shift
Those bones we love to pick
We pour salt in our lick
You are cross, I’m laid bare
I’m a peg and you are square
You’re chicken, I am pox
A gift tossed on the rocks
Single thorn with two sharp sides
We now subtract the long divide
Dear John or Jane (depending)
You’re a desert to my fish
I’m writing to inform you
No sandpaper on your skin
No more sandpaper to your skin
