Swans Fly

I missed her 4 times
so, we tried to understand each other
What is this rag tag fellow all about?
She is precise with her exams
Grey worsted wool and a light blue dress shirt
Freshly pressed and always just so
We met first in Chicago
A rooftop boondoggle over single malt 
She smiled politely and reminded me 
Always impressed with how a broker could spin a sale to both sides of the market
California drought, what grape should we enjoy tonight,
It was her after all,
More enjoyable than I had anticipated
In spite of a slip of tongue at the war room table
Subtle and unexpected 
I missed her check her diary that night
Another year went by,
Ambition on the Heathrow Express
In London, him by her side
The same wool pants in mind
A presentation left behind
I like her, that person mentioned to me
Black Jaguar on our way back
Peak blinders, he likes that
A handshake not returned
The tube should more than suffice
I can see why he's useful
Not exactly a miss when you plan to steal the team
How many bottles of wine can you drink on one flight overseas
Sometimes you have to create your own anxiety
I forgot her in my mind, plenty was on the line
Cohibas and Partagas, I was not married yet
I underestimated her fall from grace
She was for the chase
In California the next year
The same dress in my mind clear,
Those slacks and blouse of mine
With him she left to dine
She left the room quickly brushing her hair against me
Married this time
I could not sleep with the softness of her hair on my hand
She had tripped on her way out of the room,
A scowl from those who watched my face
Blushing for everyone who saw
She came with me
My world was worn and sad
The next time was the last
No opportunity to chat
Her eyes were clear to see
A warning made to me
You do not know this fee
I laughed- I know that for a fact
But I cannot act
This is my trap

Time passes by

Only finance concerned my mind

He asked for me

Where is she.

Maybe he wondered about my anxiety

Pools of sweat at my desk

My preparatory round of golf

Isn’t Jack Nicklaus a bit too fine for that

Probably

And still, I don’t mind working at golf

That’s why I practice that

Isn’t that enough money yet?

ILS and all that, my daughter don’t care about that

Maybe he was worried

I’m really worried about that

Guns and Ammo is my mag

You ought to read about that

He walked away

Gave me a wink and a nod

You don’t want her too involved in that

Bonds are not for now

Shocked he would care at all

She quit was the call.

I pretended not to think
