i've saved you the best chair by the warmth of the fire
so take your rest by my welcoming hearth
as the evils of the world take root and grow higher
there's no safer place on the whole of the earth
i'm drawn to your carefully guarded mystique
and you long for my deep majestic allure
you have my attention while your interest is piqued
i'm yours for the taking and the taking is yours
so color me gentle and let down your guard
there's nothing more pressing than the here and the now
but the path to your heart has been long, cold, and hard
i'd give myself to you if you would just show me how
because when fire meets water the steam is intense
and fuels a deep passion for which you have no defense
