The Coward

Vito Genovese
Word on the street
Is you've been having these
Dreams about you and me
In one, I was in a hallway
You were at the end
I started walking towards you
And you cowered back in fear
Why is this what you think of me?
Remember the time that we got lost?
The sign said, 'Do not cross'
But we went anyway
And when I saw you again
You cowered in fear
Why weren't you afraid of me then?
That time we were in the street
Hurling buildings at one another's feet
You jumped at me
I nearly spilled my drink
And you hand just grazed my side
And I cowered and went inside
Why am I so afraid to see your face?
The counter's one
I hope it's you
The coward won
I hope it's meT
