Love
Love, what’d you come here for?
To watch an old man die in his regret
To dance in the wind tonight
Love, why were you in her shape?
To let me dream all night
To let me fall apart in my own sleep
Love, what are you good for?
To make one smile at the sea
To have one wait for eternity
I am not in living color; I am the soul of a man
I was the song you sang, the emotions you felt
I am the air you breathe; true beauty mirrors me
I am not the sun; I am not the moon
I am the light; the warmth in your bed tonight
Love, what was your desire?
To set my heart on fire
To dance in the rhythm of my steps
I remember I once was happy
Can these things I feel ever go away
Love, what’d you come here for?
Just let me be…
