Heart Blown Astray
Lest the wind blows my heart astray,
into lying eyes and colder arms.
I shall keep a fair distance away,
this dangerous love can do no harm.
Into lying arms and colder eyes,
I am drawn as the moth to flame.
This dangerous love can do no harm,
if I do not, myself, play this game.
I am drawn as the moth to flame.
The seduction is almost complete.
If I do not, myself, play the game,
I shall not sip a love so sweet.
The seduction is almost complete.
For myself, I must hold respect.
I shall not sip a love so sweet.
You offer more than I should accept.
For myself, I must hold respect.
I shall keep a fair distance away.
You offer more than I should accept,
lest the wind blows my heart astray.
