Love can be A many wretched thing Can poison wizened minds in ways A madman couldn't dream Love can be A toxin in the blood That fills the veins with sorcery Of Lucifer's design
To love is to feel pain To love is to know hate To love is to burn away In unforgiving flames To love, to love To love is to be insane
But still it remains, I remember the sight Of a lost love adorned with the night
Together we lay Beneath a diamond studded canopy Of shining stars in the black beyond Together as one Souls interlocked, bodies entwined She and I, alone in the night The night, the night She and I alone in the night
To love is to feel pain To love is to know hate To love is to burn away In unforgiving flames To love, to love To love is to be insane
And yet it remains, I still remember the sight Of her beauty adorned with the night
I can't forget Her face caressed by the moon The power in each sigh, the sky And how the stars did bathe in her eyes I don't regret The tender warmth of her embrace The way my name would shape her face Her touch, her taste When she was mine in the groves of grace
So let it remain, I still remember the sight Of her beauty adorned with the night And though there was pain, on this deadwinter night I remember the warmth and the light
Of the woman I loved In the autumn moonlight And of her pale beauty Adorned with the night Of the woman I loved I still remember the sight Of her beauty adorned with the night.
I wrote a lot of less-than-happy songs about this particular ex. This one is my favorite though, probably because I'd rather remember the good stuff than the bad.
