Let it be me, to lay a blanket beside the beach
God knows your tongue, woman, he knows your reach
Withering your words when our senses brush
Your gasps run for cover when we touch
Don’t let your presence remain fickle
On such a landscape, lady
Don’t burn your memories
Of this sweet escape, baby
A brilliant sparkling carpet before us
A deep azure blue
Our shadows flowing so quickly
Our chains haven’t a clue
A transient moment suspended in time
Body language, the rhythm and rhyme
Oxygen, condensation, heartbeats, divine
We can build a house of cards from the sand
Electric stares when we join hands
Luminescent eyes, delicate skin
Only the sea whispers our sins
I meant it not this way but the tears just flow and my makeup smearing all the more, leaving behind that familiar filthy residue. I may have begun to drive myself away, dragging you down as well. But it's done, I've flipped the switch and now it's dark once more. How painful is the music to my ears, I can't stand to be alone in it, yet here I am again. I pray you fly back and safely and warmly to me, though I fear I've dug the grave too deeply. As the dirt shifts within my soul, I choke on those loving words I'd meant for you. All the fragments of light I see becoming smaller and I wish to be near you in your embrace that might make me feel the warmth I'm missing. And in reality, I doubt I'd breathe another breath without you. So come hither and quickly soothe my dying heart, you are the only cure I know. I cry and cry again, come hither to heal and love me. Come hither and help me dry my tears.
