Things We Don’t Really Do Anymore When Courting You (Except in Song)
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Drive by your house
Walk down your street
Write you a letter
Call out to you
Run to you
Send a song out to you
Put a dime, quarter or dollar in the jukebox (and then lean up against it)
Go to, or climb through, your window
More elaborate things we never really did when courting you, but still sometimes do in song:
Climb your mountain
Swim your sea
Put a spell on you, or fall under YOUR spell
Take you by the hand, and make you understand, Amanda.
Things we ultimately still want to do, but only certain people can actually do, and that’s why there is song:
Liberate you
Confiscate you
Be your man
