Velvet Caress

Sing to me with your light

my parched soul loves you

I'll uncurl my silky tresses

to let your fragrance brew

Let me weave from dreamy raindrops

a blanket that wraps stars

I'll take you behind cotton clouds

to a world that will be ours

Chorus:

      I carved your name from the golden sky

         and lit it on warm sand dunes

               I've waited so long to drench my soul 

                   in velvet caress of your tunes

          Your trembling lips melt frozen breath

              I am no longer inside me

                  You drip through my crevices in snow

                      I fuse in you, let me be

Two parallel waves tied by pearls dance

we kiss in tales of love

frivolous moments fuse to touch desires

pouring stardust from above

Let the moon get drunk with our melodies

musical sandcastles afloat

Embrace me as seashells spill chiming breeze

Let me blush, on me you dote

Chorus:

     I carved your name from the golden sky

        and lit it on warm sand dunes

           I've waited so long to drench my soul 

              in velvet caress of your tunes

          Your trembling lips melt frozen breath

             I am no longer inside me

                 You drip through my crevices in snow

                     I fuse in you, let me be

                     I am no longer inside me

                            I fuse in you, let me be

                   We fuse and sail, let us be..
