lyrics

Hey, where are we now?
Is the answer hard to find?
Feeling lost inside this crowd, the million faces floating by
There’s a place where we fit like keys inside of the right locks
To be turned to open all the love inside

Turning over leaves,
Stones and pages, blank and empty sheets
They reveal not but want
Pulling inwards like supernova vacuums of the mind
To be formed into our microcosmic place

Mmm, lovely
Parched and hungry
For merely touch of skin, I’d weep

Fruitless patience drains a heart
That can no longer wait in vain
Anticipating only love, disappointment bringing pain
And I am standing as Tantalus in seas of golden opportunities
My love, must I starve myself for thee?

Pining anxiously
Celibacy strains a restless beast
Feeling chained all for naught
Am I guilty for thoughts, when your voice bears a frigid cold?
Could your comet come burn up in my atmosphere, oh?

Sing to me
Red wine poetry
Comfort me with disembodied love

Fruitless patience drains a heart
That can no longer wait in vain
Anticipating only love, disappointment bringing pain
And I am standing as Tantalus in seas of golden opportunities
My love, must I starve myself for thee?
