When I Was Your Lover and You Were My Love

When I was your lover I was a volcano Throwing out light and life like lava When you were my love you gave Me that energy to burn Sparkling fizzing and crackling alive. When I was your lover I was a red pine tree Standing at its height tall and lean When you were my love you made Me stand fully tall Straight and proud relishing my height. When I was your lover I was Saville Row A sense of style and well turned out When you were my love you relished My look, my style The cut of my job feeling razor sharp. When I was your lover I was the dawn Of your day, your rising sun When you were my love the first Thought of your day, I Filled the space between sleeping and waking. When I was your lover I was the dusk Of your day, your setting sun When you were my love, the last Thought of your day, I Filled the space between awake and sleep. When I was your lover I was with you At night in your sleeping thoughts When you were my love you brought Me into your dreams Keeping me alive and loved as you slept.
