For the scent of you
To come back around
All I need do is take a breath
For the thought of your silhouette
To pirouette across my mind
All I need do is close my eyes
For the tremors of your love
To shake my westward soul
All I need do is glance back east

Where our rivulets run quiet
And the cherry blossoms bloom
Where raindrops pool in the shadows
And the sky pleads, "mercy, mercy..."

For the steps of your feet
To echo through these halls
All I need do is stop walking
For the shimmer of your silken hair
To erase all colors of the rainbow
All I need do is drift off to dream
For the rhythm of your heartbeat
To remind mine to skip a beat
All I need do is be still

Sitting where our rivulets run quiet
And the cherry blossoms bloom
Where raindrops pool in the shadows
And the sky pleads, "mercy, mercy...'

Mercy.
