lyrics

Here we are … in this
warm, golden garden of a room --
Double wide, wicker bed,
white – cotton – sheets.

We don’t sleep…
instead we bloom in each other’s arms.
At once,
everything is simple,
getting lost, looking at that dimple.
Why did I resist it so long?
So hard, so deeply?
How was I that strong?
When it’s plain, as the soreness in my thighs
that this is sane.
This, is where, a…

(Brought to bed, not to sleep --
all I want is you in deep.
Lick your throat, kiss your face
lyin’ in a state of grace).

…warm, slow, trickle of time
pours over us.
All I know is you.
With you succumb to every thrum humming through us,
every strum of your hands on me.
Our bodies won’t let us stop.
Then again why would we?
It would take a natural disaster to tear myself from you.
We need to lie here heart to heart.
I never really knew this definition of need so completely,
this definition of hunger,
this total disinterest in anything that is not … you
look good enough to eat and feeling capricious
I can’t resist a bite.
I could swallow you whole – you are so delicious.

What took all this time?
Afraid of the word mine?
‘Cause none of us, not one of us can own another.
I never courted a feeling of possession
but it’s coming closer, wants to marry me
and though I refuse that proposal,
still, it’s got it’s claws in --
This is not the time for digression,
no one is asking for a confession
but I will tell you…

I mean always to protect you.
I mean always to respect you,
in the morning too.
I mean always to believe in you --
I mean always to stand or lie beside you
whatever the case may be.
Take it, I gift you, my key!
That one, to the innermost me.


(Brought to bed, not to sleep --
all I want is you in deep.
Lick your throat, kiss your face,
lyin’ in a state of grace.

Sheets entwined, lovely grind,
sweat drip, drip, drip, down your spine.
Time roll by, yet, and still,
we will never have our fill.)
