Description
Will youHazel O'Connor
You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
And we're sitting here playing so cool, thinking "What will be, will be"
But it's getting kind of late now
Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, oh silly me!
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
And then we touch much too much
This moment has been waiting for a long long time
Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
This moment I am so unsure
This moment I have waited for
Was it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?
Take off your ice, bare your soul
Gather me to you and make me whole
Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
Sing it to me in the silent dawn
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

What a perfectly congruent Naughty little smile you're wearing for the shot. The name reminds me of a song by one of my favourite singer/songwriters. and if you like words (rather are entranced as you are with them) you'll love his lyrics. Ironically his name is *connor* oberst. here are the words
Artist/Band: Bright Eyes
Album: Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002)
Song Title: You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will.
"Well, you say that I treat you like a book on a shelf
I don't take you out that often
'Cause I know that I completed you
And that's why you are here
That's the reason you stay here
How awful that must feel
You said you'd be my dream
I could have you every night
And if by morning I'd forgotten you
Well, no big deal, that'd be all right
'Cause you're the re-occuring kind
You are the re-occuring kind
You never really leave my mind
Are you the love of my lifetime
'Cause there's been times I've had my doubts
We were just kids when I first kissed you
In the attic of my parents' house
And I wish we were there now
I took so long to figure out
What this book has been about
Now I write when I'm away
Letters that you'll never read
You said go explore those other women
The geography of their bodies
But there's just one map you'll need
You're a boomerang you'll see
You will return to me
You will. You? Will you? Will you? Will.
Because if you don't then this book's all lies
If you don't then my plans would all be ruined
If you don't, I'll start drinking like the way I drank before
And I just won't have a future anymore."

I had to read the lyrics a few times to let them sink in (as is the case with me and my favourite poems). Thank you for sharing the song. Now I just need to *hear* it! I really do like the lyrics an awful lot.

The emotion, photograph and lyrics go so well together. I love the gentleness and yet intensity I get from this particular piece. Nicely done as always, hon!

there is a quiet coolness about this shot that is subversively sly.

Great shot. And with that expression, the answer to the question would most likely be a definite yes, no matter what preceded 'will you'
