Hold me,
Gather me,
Before I sift Into a dream
Entice me
Bedevil me
Before I go mad
The world is naked without you
As your dream is laid before me,
Come and claim me
Before the hourglass runs empty
Oh, I run straight ahead
Unknowingly to a path I can’t comprehend,
My dear, please show me the way
To your door
Your kiss lays before me
As I trouble to make it there,
For your voice is not near as I hear your call
And there is no where to find you
But still, your shadow remains
The night is weary,
As trouble brews not long before this night,
For I find you alone and lost
Knowing not where you want to go,
But lying there in bewilderment
Through the smoke
Of past lies and half-truths
Surrender this night,
Come and hold me,
For tonight is our claim
And the world is our game
Let’s author this evening
With supple and wine,
Be my muse
And I’ll forever be your song
