if we fell in love in an aeroplane cabin pressure would you take my name and the shame as we taxi down the turbulence sounds good on the cold runway if we knew true love in the checkout aisle plastic bags and the clerk she smiles and the miles through the parking lot we are not a coupon for cheap love won t you marry me marry me please julie won t you carry me carry me please julie the funeral cues me to bury my heart if we called it quits over christmas dinner turkey s burnt can you smell the winter and the cinders just blacken the snow your footprints showed me that you just walked in circles if we talked briefly on the telephone my head drops as i listen for the tone take me home and my body s shakin why are you takin my dignity a name upon a stone has gone and found a home in my heart if we never met would it be ordinary to think of you by the cemetery as i carry my pick and shovel the flowers huddle in circles round your feet if we met again by the cemetery tombstone name oh won t you marry won t you marry me marry me please julie carry me carry me please julie bury me bury me please julie
