Alabaster

Met on the shore on a rainy dawn in late November

'Speak not a word

' was what you wrote to me

Shoes soaked in sand and a heavy coat around your shoulder

Bird in a hand was what you gave to me

You stood so strong and the waves beyond were rollin' over

Pullin' me close like the moon pulls on the sea

I wanna ride on a road that turns a thousand corners

Two beams of light

One for you and me

House in the hills and inside the sound of nervous laughter

Your body of stone that I touch until it turns to water

Was revealed to me

I long to touch your tender skin of alabaster

Shoulders as white as the peaks beyond the sea

Arms in your arms and soon the room is spinning faster

Eyes in your eyes are the only thing I see

Love you so much so the only thing that you'll remember

Is what it's like to be in love with me
