Song Lyrics

With our bodies on fire and our heads in a spin
We pressed close to the moment
We were Siamese twins in ecstasy, in ecstasy

So we lay soul to soul as the archer of the night
United our hearts for our mutual delight
While the company derided me

Tie me up in your hair, I'm so easily led
Sink me deep in your oceans
Lock me up in your bedroom and lose the key
Oh, won't you lose that key?

Let me show you a sign pure as the virgin snow
Sail a while with me through my dreams
Hear the many enchanted themes
I will play for you in several keys of blue
Sing for you my swan song

Oh, strange, strange harmony
Oh, such a sad refrain
Feels like a thorn in the heart for me
Feels like I'm dying again

With our bodies on fire and our heads in a spin
We pressed close to the moment
We were Siamese twins in ecstasy

Let me give you the time to be your waterfall
We can bathe in the wine and the honey sublime
Till the last curtain call, till the curtain calls

Like the moon and the sun united as one
Like the nearly insane when the game is all done
We can't lose it all, we can't lose it all

Take me up for a ride, far from the stony ground
Glide the skies with me in my dreams
Hear the secrets of the themes
I will play for you in several shades of blue
Sing for you my swan song, swan song

William Nelson
