With several beats here tonight
Our love is seen to live on we know’
If not from afar to see I say this day
The second time around seems fair enough
Even though I am far away
The woman in me says go and find
The love so loss of long ago’
Sometimes on days of days gone by
Wanting to lie in the palm of your hand
After running into him several times
And examining the snapshots of time
With the artist in me wanting and waiting
With your painting stacked inside my mind
There you were behind the French doors on the right
Standing so long in the night
To keep his toes frost free
He bounced on his feet to his bride to be
Although their room was pink and frilly
With a single nightstand by the fire
Whitewashed walls and the iron bed
Change gave her the facts that she needed to know
Then after mulling it over she thought
The look of you took my breath away
To reach for your face that seems so far away.
He licked his lips in anticipation
As Our breathing seemed so long ago
Tears welled up in her eyes to see his shadow
Brooding over the fact that he must be
As the knowledge of him and flames of fire
As The flames of the two
And as the flames became new
As the flames of the night hold us so tight…
