You filled up my emptiness.
From the moment I saw you,
All my reason disappeared
And reality was lost.
I saw only your sea foam eyes
And the halo of your hair -
A long, flowing, golden mane
Fit for a Harlequinn king.
I had to touch your body,
Your soul, your youth and your mind.
But, how could I long for dreams
That should not ever be dreamed
Without breaking trust and vows
Of love, honour, to be true.
So, I dreamed of you and sighed
Each sweet time I breathed you in.
But, nothing could stop my heart.
Then you were there, as was I.
I took you so willingly.
You took me, so willingly.
And, the dream became so real.
It was right and so were you.
In the shelter of the night,
Alone, in the dark, we loved.
My passions reeled and soared high.
I drank deeply of your wine.
You, I, in that Chevy van
In the heat of the summer.
Rising, lowering, sighing,
Whispering forbidden love
In forgotten deep places.
The moon smiled and so did I.
Then, as dreams must surely end
And the sun must always rise,
The time to face the truth stood
Beween us and I left you
Brushing tears from sea foam eyes.
I went to awaken the man
Who trusted the golden band
To cease my freedom to dream
