Sponsor: Mystic Rose
When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old
and it takes you to the caves where anything turns gold
you don't ask any questions and you don't dare breathe
you just follow her, like a light weight tumbled weed
Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune
every step a little deeper than the crevices of moon
you can almost taste the air, on your tonguing clepe
you can down the stars of heaven in one single leap
Taking you by the waist it shall dance you through
the elixir of happiness when your feeling down n' blue
you just thank the Lord for the magic of this gift
all you need is skin n' eyes to cross her lowly rift
When night claims you like a wayward leaf of old
and takes you to her caves, all etched with gold
don't ask her any questions just go ahead breathe
no, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe,
yes breathe...
As a single act I retreat and take one more deep breath
I stare in awe watching her move as her arm I caress
I pray she always looks at me with those eyes so brown
if only I had made a throne, for she deserves a crown
Those sparkly stars flutter as she walks toward the balcony
that sweet scent she carries while we explore our anatomy
I ponder when I'll surprise her with a striking ring of gold
thoughts leading to our intentions this night shall unfold
A glass of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries
she lays upon the handmade quilt of perfect embroidery
her golden locks of fragrance linger for an opening of teasing
and I keep quiet and continue to concentrate on my breathing
Our reveries and castle caves create a content way of life
my creaking soul travels hoping she will be my wife
for now don't ask her any questions just go ahead breathe
no, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe,
yes breathe...
