lyrics

Old songs now touch my soul as if anew
I’m hearing the wind and the waves and the sway of the branches
And I feel you warm my heart and complicate the blue
As if my eyes and ears were closed to the music in these dances
Late at night now when I am restlessly sleeping
And I have sailed there and back a thousand years away
You’re wandering through my hidden places smiling and weeping
I feel you longing for us a quiet place to stay

And if you’re not here for real and I’m dazing
It doesn’t matter don’t you see?
Even if you deny it all and say I’m crazy
It doesn’t matter don’t you see?
To my tired abandoned soul you are amazing
That’s what matters don’t you see?

Amazing and beautiful woman you almost unnerve me
Warm heart well hidden inside a painted on disguise
There’s so much more beneath the perfect curve to see
Untold pride and pain beneath your lies inside your eyes
The coral reef of your lovely body it has no remorse
It is a siren to those men who’ve fallen or you have broken
Those who floundered and followed your looks off course
But I steer by the light of your eyes where no word is spoken

And if you’re not here for real and I’m dazing
It doesn’t matter don’t you see?
Even if you deny it all and say I’m crazy
It doesn’t matter don’t you see?
To my tired abandoned soul you are amazing
That’s what matters don’t you see?

So now I look forward to the rare moment of a day
Or the stolen embrace we rush into without pride
And if the world conspires to take it all away
I won’t complain I will make another in which we hide
But one day when the perfect curve has fallen from you
And the fickle world has turned and left your heart stone
The things I see and adore will still shine through
And you’ll completely love me ‘cause I’ve always known

If you falter and derail upon their bed of lies
It will matter deeply don’t you see?
If you fall down and become only what is in their eyes
A tragic song plays don’t you see?
My gift is when the best of you takes wings and flies
The best of you in love with me

And you’re gone…gone…gone…gone
