The burn

of the smoldering

embers of deceit

is eternal.

I was a single grain of coffee
floating in the porcelain mug
that was your heart

tell my what your thinking please....
tell me what to do,
because i am out of ideas

Won't you,
          Come sit down beside me
Hold me,
          Love me,
                    and set me free

I've waited so long for you
Kept careful watch for you
Got my sights now set on you
Just need one thing from you

Won't you,
          Come sit down beside me
Hold me,
          Love me,
                    and set me free

Come get lost with me
Escape from this world with me
Merge into one with me
Release and be free with me

Won't you,
          Come sit down beside me
Hold me,
          Love me,
                    and set me free

There's a life that awaits us two
A life prepared for me and you
A life that's destined to exist
A life that begins with just one kiss

So...

Won't you,
          Come sit down beside me
Hold me,
          Love me,
                    and set me free*

Nostalgia of a love
*
It is your eyes that hypnotize me, and your gentle voice that dominates me
In my cold solitude, your embrace, soft and warm, softens the cold air
It is with your sweet kisses with which the essence of my soul falls in love
With them I dream from far away
They are the memories I carry everywhere
