lyrics

Flesh and bone, Lips to kiss, Some thought in mind, I may have missed, I’m amazed, I am here, I am nothing, Without you near.

This can't be, This can't be, What it is, This can't be.

Was it you, Or was it me, That chose desire, That chose to be, Who can know, Who can believe, Chose to stay, Chose to leave.

This can't be, This can't be, What it is, This can't be.

A star to pass, Between your eyes, A breath to breathe, Between your sighs, I doubt this man, I doubt your touch, Yet I need your flesh, I need so much.

This can't be, This can't be, What it is, This can't be.

Life is nothing, Death is less, Your deep green eyes, Your scarlet dress, All I am, Except for you, Is what I think, And what you do.
(song of my heart sing me to sleep, sing me a dream the morning can keep, come now my love the silence is mine, we live in a dream on the outskirts of town)

This can't be, This can't be, What it is, This can't be.

Nov. 89
