If you let me
I will raise you higher
Than the unfathomable

Let me skate on your pastel skin
Fall in sync with the chromatic melody
That your flesh desperately sings

Coy as a windless night
You drifted into my life
Like the moaning current
Of the possessive sea

Just when I thought the echoes
Of loveless nights would never end
You moved like silk
Parallel to the blackening breeze
Stripped me of shame
Covered with a quilt of confidence
My torpedo stricken body

You lifted me up so high
That I forgot how stones felt
Underneath my calloused soles

And you still don’t know
You have not a clue
That I owe you everything
