I've spent my whole life
Building walls all around me
My shelter's a tomb

Release me from your spell
Sweet maiden of the night

Release me from my innocence
Surrendered to your delight

Release me from your body
A tapestry of ink and skin

Release me from yourself
Or I will surely sin

Release me from your words
Your velvet voice does speak

Release me from your hands
Your touch that makes me weak

Release me from your eyes
That are burning with desire

Release me from your soul
Or I will feed this fire

No one can make me
Give this part of me for you
I do it by choice

Here you and I stand
Beneath the cosmic graveyard
Engulfed in twillight

Love is like a sea
It will refuse no river
That stands at its gate

When our young days are far behind
No mountains left to climb

Will you look back across the hills
And see me standing still

When our eyes meet, it's understood
I would follow if I could

But I'm tied down by memories
That I could never leave

You'll fade from sight, eclipsed by light
Of a path you follow true

But I'll stay here for the both of us
To remember me and you
