True Enough

Oahu
 Two hundred miles from Hilo
 Four thousand miles from Tokyo
 Four thousand from Chicago
 Five thousand from Atlanta
 Ten thousand miles from Kenya
 Three thousand from L.A.
 A mansion
 Looking for redemption
 Looking for a man's son
 Looking for his father
 Squinting to see farther
 Squinting in the sunlight
 Of a brand new day
 Will you come and dance with me?
 Will you be my only love?
 Tell me, will you love me true?
 Will you be true enough?
 A worldwide
 Twenty-minute El ride
 Down towards the South Side
 Down towards the Skyway
 Ten miles east of Midway
 Not quite to the lake shore
 Or even Lakeshore Drive
 And D.C.
 Always looked so easy
 It always sounds so sleezy
 It sometimes feels so lonely
 Like the end of a long day
 Driving on the Beltway
 I-495
 Will you come and dance with me?
 Will you be my only love?
 Tell me, will you love me true?
 Will you be true enough?
