You Stood There In Shimmering Light, No Shoes
You Stood There In Shimmering Light, No Shoes
In my past dreams, our hearts were both falling
in wanting hope, your hot love was calling
You stood there in shimmering light, no shoes
My soul wanted you, had nothing to lose
Now in present happiness I look back
at the paradise lost and my heart's lack
Then your touch thrilled my aching desires
with satisfaction that never expires
If in my future should you fade away
my hope is we should meet again someday
Yet Fate may do just as it damn well please
remember me once begging on my knees
In my past dreams, seeking hearts were both smashed
dear treasures, none shall ever to be cashed.
