I could sit before a TV screen
and tell you of places I have seen
or news I didn't want to know
that was on a television show
but what the hell
I could sit beside a wishing well and wish my life away
I could stand before the pyramids and puzzle each and every day what prompted men that when they died would want to hitch a chariot and ride up to the stars.
I could but don't think I will or would instead
I shall think of you and you know who you are
Oh yes you do
and how far is it before the kiss and I told you I don't want to miss the moments that miss those minutes of the night when deep in...
..well you know what I mean
I play out the same scene in my head
on my pillows in the bed
and in my heart.
It will start
you know it too
no good you fighting
the fighting is through
just surrender to my tenderness
undress and let me guess the rest
best I do not say much more
so shut the door
and come to bed.
