You'd Never Guess...

You'd never believe who I saw today while I was walking
down City Hall, it was cloudy out and although you
know how much I hate weather like that
Something brought a smile to my face
I can't wait to tell you, just where I was at.
He said he was a detective, you know, like the ones
they show on TV, only
this one was so different
his eyes and his smile made my heart
flutter, almost like the sound of a
thousand feet
tapping in unison to the beat of the
unheard drum, I tell you, I saw him...
I finally saw the man
who I shall dream of all my days
and maybe more than just one lonely night.
He asked for my number and just maybe
he'll give me a ring
He told me simply to call him
"Mike".
He wore a beaten up old jacket
of brown leather, I could tell just how much
he loved to wear that old thing
no matter what the weather
He's a man whose old habits just might die
a bit too hard,
he even wore some kind of pin
with an eagle, and oh, the tie he wore...
it was plaid.
But I don't want to dwell on the clothes that they say
often makes the man, for this man I tell you
needed no clothes to impress me, for all
I care.
He could simply stare at me with those hazel
eyes of his,
smile his sweet smile, and just be there,
and all I'd ever see would be the world of pain hidden
beneath those grays, shadowed by lashes
so dark
secrets so black and lonely, veiled behind sweet,
langorous smiles as we stroll along cobblestones
on Central Park,
maybe even hire a ride on the carriage
one night as the rain slowly pours down
the earth to drown us
Carry us to another world only we could ever
be in,
awaiting to engulf us.
You'd never believe who I saw on the street today,
right along the City Hall,
amidst dress blues and legal eagles I spied
the man of my dreams staring right at me,
pinning me to my feet with his grey eyes before I
could even run.
He said he worked as a Detective for the City,
wearing plaid ties and eagle pins on his lapel,
he told me his name
was Mike Logan.
