lyrics

Ok baby, here you go,
a little love song, so listen close,
to this coarse and humble token, a try at verse,
to your beauty, so demure;

and here's to your stillness, its own subtle art,
and to your courage, and conviction at the start,
and to the innocence your eyes so fragilely impart,
pleading, pale, and longing-

then you'll spin, and you'll wink, and we'll drink from the fable,
then like mystic swans, off toward a waltzing rainbow
sail away.

Now there's no measured order to the workings of the heart,
its fibers mortal, its fathoms dark,
but who's the head to say which hand might hold the cards
most fragrant in their promise?

But for all the simple joy that wells up in your gaze,
dripping through the trappings of your cool and sovereign grace,
the king of hearts himself would bow before that face,
subject to its calling-

then you'll spin, and you'll wink, and we'll drink from the fable,
then like mystic swans, off toward a waltzing rainbow
sail away.

So as a rising street rhythm breaks upon the day,
tangled in your blankets, one more golden hour we lay,
enveloped in the morning's hope, before it slips away,
to complications, and our lives...

Oh, but a thousand years now, I could carry on,
just to watch your silhouette there, naked, curtains drawn,
as you hum along to some old French chanson,
and so sleepily, faithfully, fix the coffee -

then you'll spin and you'll wink and we'll drink from the fable,
then like mystic swans off toward a waltzing rainbow..
just grin, and then wink, as we drink from the fable,
then majestic, like two swans, off toward a rainbow
sail away.
