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...
