about

…And as he dances with her, he still feels as undeserving, as awed, as the first moment they met, the first instance of the courtly ritual they just reenacted - an in-joke of a kind, a reaffirmation each time.

lyrics

You’re looking at me, eyes softer than before
Bird and sky exist to breathe the air that you will leave
I could stare until my eyes grow sore.

We touch lock as one within the light and sound
Afraid I will never be a lover you will need
Now my feet will never touch the ground

And even if forever takes my best
I can’t be more than beautifully possessed

You know I’m dreaming what a life is like with you
Final times to test my soul
Guessing at my goal
My heart leaps and it all falls through

I wouldn’t hurt you or try to change a thing
Can’t you appreciate the things I dedicate
It’s for you I write the songs I sing

And even if forever takes my best
I was never more than beautifully possessed
I know that my heart will never rest
Until you see me beautifully possessed
