lyrics

THE SINGER

Take each word I share with you as a kiss upon your skin
Admit I'm one of the numbered few that you ever allowed in,
Our descent into the waters was not as smooth as it could have been,
But you sang there
And it is from there, I know you still sing.

Many hands have been and gone knowing the pleasures of your touch
And you in your precious way remain repentant of so much,
But you continued waiting for Midas to bless you with a curse,
So you could remain there
And it is from there, I know you still hurt.

I want to hold you like a Silverback
But like the serpent I need your soul
You've known muscle and you've known mind
But I've a passion you've never known,
I'll be here daughter of Lir listening to you sing to them all,
And you are still there
And it is from there, I heard you call.

With lips moist like a window pain sweating in the night
I don't think we've ever been this close or that with ever been this tight,
I'm waiting in the shadows while you yearn for them all,
And you stand there
And hit is from there, I heard your soul.
