"pink sky at night"

our lips are dancing to some silent tune

and your fingers light my skin afire

i see the planet of you in the face of the moon

i see no sanctuary in sight from my desire

i've been told my heart is like the breeze-

it shifts and moves in a moment's time

but you-you satisfy some secret need

i'd abandon the breeze if you were mine

at times i don't know if i have rested

we part, and still i taste you on my lips

i do know this: my interest is vested

and now and then i feel my facade slip

ancient walls come crumbling down

my foundation relaxes at your smile

i'll give you me, bare and unbound

for the assurance you'll stay around awhile

i'm used to thinking you're out of my league

and sailing in the oceans of your eyes

now i'm seeing possibilities

seeing my little lonely boat capsize

and you'll explore the wreckage of me with your hands

you'll search my seas for signs of life

tell me you'll lay aside your maps and plans

and take me in, night after night.
