With the night closing in several hours before dawn
Her soft smile turned much more than the street lighting on
The rain fell the wind howled but the darkness was gone
From the street from the soul from the heart
Removing her glove she took hold of my hand
My heart beat like the drums in a rock n roll band
Freeing unsentenced feelings locked up on remand
From the cage that surrounded my heart
Her head rested my shoulder and weakened my knees
When my arm felt the heat transmitting from her squeeze
Warmth flowed through every vein thawing out the deep freeze
As the icicles fell from my heart
She moved in for the hug that would open the door
Barricaded defences strewn over the floor
My face burned as I shook craving one minute more
Liberty for my battle scarred heart
Though the wind eased her kiss blew my troubles away
In my arms her whole body had took on a sway
Take me home if your lucky I might let you stay
In my vulnerable healing old heart
