lyrics

We have but eternity, let’s waste it together
Dress me in sunlight and benevolent tethers
Swing on the radio, a kiss in the hallway
Ask me, how long I’ll love you
The answer, always
Pen touches paper and all the world’s right
Or, as right as it could be, tonight

Ogie, Naoko
Hearts in airmailed envelopes
Ogie, oh
Naoko!

They fell in love through a war, fished flames from their breasts
The girl was a poet, the boy did his best
To float in between islands on black ink and sentiment

As the sage recommends, firm footing as friends
A tiptoe quotidian so close to the edge
of the world, who knows, this could happen again
and where lay our loyalties, then?
to each other of course, til the end

Ogie, Naoko
Hearts in airmailed envelopes
Ogie, oh
Naoko!

Pen touches paper and all the world’s right
Or, as right as it could be, tonight

Ogie, Naoko
Hearts in airmailed envelopes
Ogie, oh
Naoko!
