Shriveled dreams shiver tonight
your eyes shimmer with tears
tainted hopes scare your heart
crumbling under forgotten years
I've blended mellowed lullabies
in pouring stardust from above
drenching your vineyard of pain
in draped showers of my love
Gently now, gently let me wrap
your fingers entwined in laces
I've woven a blanket of stars
in clouds of fragrant traces
Gently now, gently let me caress
your parched lips with mine
trembling to melt frozen breath
as snowflakes in dewy outline
Darling, let me be your solace
in storms of anxious blue rain
your halo I embrace in euphony
of silk-kissed healing vervain
Your unfurling petals tonight dance
in soothing cuddles of light afloat
Musical sandcastles orchestrate
drunk moonlight for you to dote
Gently now, gently let me wrap
your fingers entwined in laces
I've woven a blanket of stars
in clouds of fragrant traces
Gently now, gently let me caress
your parched lips with mine
trembling to melt frozen breath
as snowflakes in dewy outline
Let your soul dance in velvet dew
we've waited for long to love again
rhythms of silent hearts to flow
on painted canvas of ethereal touch
Gently now, gently let me wrap
your fingers entwined in laces
(Let your soul dance in velvet dew)
I've woven a blanket of stars
in clouds of fragrant traces
(we've waited for long to love again)
Gently now, gently let me caress
your parched lips with mine
(rhythms of silent hearts to flow)
trembling to melt frozen breath
as snowflakes in dewy outline
(on painted canvas of ethereal touch)
Gently now, gently brush my essence..
Gently now, gently my safe heaven...
