In the Recess of My Heart

by Rachel Dunkerque AKA Carolyn V. Crawford (lyric and melody) You yearn to hear me whisper, your name against your chest Taste my lips in the kiss of a pouring rain Under skies on fire with God's fine play You want your arms to close me in Feel the thunder clap the lightning in its hand You spoke such words, no riddle It was so clear I was your aim I took account, but I never said a thing Now as regards your exhortations, I answer no and no again You see the ring you wear means I'd be second-hand. 'Cause if I lay me down beside you Flesh to flesh I'd want to bind you Forever close to me in the recess of my heart. You hunger to embrace me at sea in first the light Caress my face awash in flames as they burn the night Watch the deep erupt with geyser mists Wrap me endless in your arms Let the day-star dance us slowly toward star-night Oh-h-h-h the winsome way you woo me Feels like a lovely fairy tale I shake my head, turn temptation from my way Since I'm a girl who leans toward leprechauns It makes it hard for me to say I'll be your one and only dream that cannot stay. 'Cause if I lay me down beside you Flesh to flesh I'd want to bind you Forever close to me in the recess of my heart. 'Cause if I lay me down beside you Flesh to flesh I'd want to bind you Forever close to me in the recess of my heart. Forever close to me in the recess of my heart.
