Oh so fragrant the air was tasted
when first our souls did meet
Wafting on to the fading night
spoke of smells so ever sweet


Emotions so bare and open
fearing no more of the night
Say come back again and again
stay with me till morning light


Thirst overpowers my senses
with promises of love each day
Saying to drink of your fountain
swearing you'll show me the way


So short the time we have to be
oh what shall I do with mine
Give of my heart to another
or simply drink of the wine


I'll trust in you my happiness
life seldom gives but just one turn
while knowing so well the danger
I still wish to live, love and learn
