And two hearts beat as one
To the rhythm of a tune they call their own.
The gold and platinum vinyl spins
Creating the sound where love begins.
If only for the moment, they have...

dead within my eyes
as Anarkali was, alive
your silent tomb
as if Orpheus
I glance to seek you

to his hateful lair.

fighting demons
into oblivion
do hasten swiftly
into the night!
Oh, wait...

Where is that woman
I so loved so long ago?
And for reasons unfathomed
I love as much still

Beauty beyond compare

Simple in thought
But complex in love

Years of remorse

They have worn me down
I admit, I...

I yearn for the arms of that lover.
Maybe if she embraced me, it would all be over.
