Tea Leaves

Tea leaves
Read in the trees
Don't know where I'm going
But the ticket is bought.

Don't cry
Just be mine
I'm not here tomorrow
So this has got to be right.

Look at the bottom
Of the cup's sweet curves
Check that you've still got it
But don't say a word.

Just down
The last dregs
And then I'll ignore you
Take your sister instead.

Don't be a fool
If you know where I'm going
Just play it cool
And kiss me goodbye.

Shadows fall
And love palls
Wrinkles grow and make us sad.

Don't tell
Hush now
I'll just read the tea leaves to know.
