Mystery Of Love

The city gates at twilight
And a red ship
Sinking
Behind winter’s grey wall
Ice in the wind
But a Fire in the embers
Of my heart
As darkness falls
In a Candlelit room
Where your eyes are laughing
Smoking in the red
Chair
And nothing in the world
'cept the beating of my Heart
Against the nerves of the air
And I know there’s a Light
At the end of the tunnel
'cause I taste it on your
Lips
And I feel a weight
That can bend me double
You lift
It with your fingertips
So often it happens
That words prove
Useless
In the face of how it feels
So it is as the mystery of Love
Keeps growing
The more my heart
Reveals
Temptations endless whispers
Try to keep it in Perspective
So much to distract
Walking on a wire
While
Your juggling desire
It’s all part of your balancing act
And
It gets hard to know
Just what you believe
As the argument
Rages on But for all of the talk
It’s only true to say
That
If you have no hope
There is none
A tangle of Tongues
Flesh flowers and thistles
Of conscience, spittle and
Skin
We can’t change the past
So we’ll raise this cup to our
Lips
And drink it all in And meantime back in Civilisation
The rain is cold as steel
But the mystery of Love
It just keep growing
The more my heart reveals
