Satin

Too many miles

And vacant roads

Between my heart & I

 

Not enough stars to wish for him

In all of the night sky

 

There's something about the waves

That dance hand in hand, so soft and blue

That remind me of your satin eyes--

I wish i could dance with you.

 

And I'm not one to write sad songs

About bruised hearts or absent love

But my lips are stained by falling snow

And snow is not enough

 

It aches--so call it passion

Call it young and stupid--yeah

But believe me, if he was yours

You'd be just as bad

 

There's something about divergent winds

Sharing an endless embrace

That make me close my eyes

And fall asleep

With tear stains on my face

 

Cause if I could be that close to him

 

If we could dance as well

There'd be no need for wind or waves

 

Only how we felt
