there was no music only dancing
two lonely spirits moving softly
swaying in the breeze made
by the breath of their embrace
then losing their touch in the starlight
the comedy got lost in the kiss
and the tragedy became apparent
in the parting of their lips
“my darling, baby, sweetheart let me count the ways
I can make you trust me then disappoint you again”
II. There is Safety in Slumber
I'm tired, so tired
my bones are cold and look! there’s a light on in the hall
close my eyes for me dear
lead me to where I can sleep and sleep for days
I can't hear you anymore
my eyes don't deserve to see that you're beautiful
I can’t hear you anymore
My eyes don’t deserve to see that you’re beautiful
