Face Off

Your face is ever before me like a painting etched in sky as the dusk of dawn approaches still seeking the reasons why I would set upon your head a crown before you would I bow with affection would I clothe you if knew I only how Every sight of you is pleasure your voice to me a song every feeling within that's stored up to be empty of it wrong Never have eyes seen so much stored in a well of man fought have I with resistance It's course for me unplanned The mountains into the valley slide the path of which you spake to empty there every river like the fig in wind does shake My ear has heard its calling like angels in the wind the words of a heart falling to reason its amend Every note has played its key upon us did aria descend the chords of exultation a song can none pretend Every key has its own note every scale its own cry every sound of truth you hear will every lie defy You are my beloved one none can you replace in every place I seek you to have my eyes upon your face COPYRIGHT © 2012 C.
