If You Love Her

So you wanna talk it through
We’ve been out here to long
My fingers have turned blue
Haven’t we gone over this before?
Nothing seems new
If you love her
I won't stop you
If you love her
Do what you gotta do
Wave after wave you wash over me
Wave after wave I'm lost at sea
She was there before me
And she’ll be there after
And I'll let you go with no regrets
No bitter laughter
Your feet always fell in line
And I was running to keep time
If you love her
I won't stop you
If you love her
Do what you gotta do
Wave after wave you wash over me
Wave after wave I'm lost at sea
If you love her
Do what you gotta do
If you love her
I wont stop you
If you love her
Do what you gotta do
and let me be
Maybe then i’ll sleep
My wild sweet love
Wave after wave you wash over me
Wave after wave I'm lost at sea

Storm's Lullaby
03:19
|

What have we found here?
I lost the day, the week, the month, the year
But you are so near and I
need nothing more
Lying on your chest
feeling your body at rest
The storm softly sang us
a lullaby
We thought this through
I didn’t trip or fall I ran to you
And I’ll keep on running
till I’ve got your loving
-
A night filled with faces
Dark rooms, lost airs and graces
It’s just you I retrace and
our quiet embraces
In the shadow of sunlight
Window open to the street life
Your bathing soft like
the kisses you give me with first light
Limbs loose in a deep pool
Swimming short lengths to keep cool
I like how your skin tastes before you dive in
Oh what have we found here?
I lost the day, the week, the month, the year
But you are so near and I need nothing more

Never Before So Naked
01:38
|

Never before
So naked
we sat steaming
Then crawled into warm bed
Barely dreaming
How bodies sleep apart
Far from one another
Leaving still warm tracks
For fresh thoughts to discover
And words they fall apart
As lips stick together
And flesh finds itself
So naked, never
Never before so naked, never
Never before so naked, never

Lament to Love
03:08
|

|
Your so close I can feel you breathing
Where did you go while you were dreaming?
I didn't know that you’d be leaving
Im full, with the thought of you
So full, with all of you
Oh my lover
I'm so hungry for you
And I'm startled by the ache
Lay ravenous
In the empty space, still warm from your shape
Singing my lament to love
My lament to love
In the vestige of
Another morning lost for us
These highs
I’d rather feel them all
Than feel nothing at all
And lose you to the world
These highs
I’d rather feel them all
The rush and then the fall
Than lose you to the world
Your like clean water in salty air
The mellow incense that rises with prayer
As night to the dawn,
Im endlessly drawn
Oh my lover
Im so hungry for you
These highs
I’d rather feel them all
Than feel nothing at all
And lose you to the world
These highs
I’d rather feel them all
The rush and then the fall
Than lose you to the world
Singing my lament to love
My lament to love

Sunflower King

Coffees for lovers
They drink it at noon
I pass their tired smiles on the busy avenues
Do they remind you of us dear? When we were a two
Its been such a long time since I sat across from you
Who you been fighting now?
Who do you tell those half baked stories too?
And I don't know how much time past
Since I spoke to you last
But my love ain't ever gonna change
I want to kiss the bare knuckles of your broken hands
As you stand in the half light, still half a man
What are you hiding in those honeycombed eyes?
Known you such a long time
Its always a surprise
Who do you lie with now?
And do you buy her sunflowers to brighten the spring showers?
And i don't know how much time past
Since I spoke to you last
But my love ain't ever gonna change
So pull your collar up against your chin
And step back into day dear, leave me here drinking
Alone in a street full of lovers in spring
I’ll see you next time my sunflower king
