04. In Your Arms

I rather fancy this new position.

I could get used to this,

I really could.

What can I say?

It feels so good.

Perhaps this was always how it was meant to be,

And taken in by clichés I couldn’t see

The value of your stage direction.

Now I feel your warm protection

And I have to admit you were on to something –

Affection isn’t all or nothing;

The traffic needs to flow both ways.

With the simplest touch you take me under.

In your arms it’s heaven.
