Longing

Listen to the song at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5uuoDAYsm0

I love the man - my heart a place
void and vast, black holes and space,
yet through my chambers, bursts of light
guide his dark, uncertain night -

Refrain: I love the man.

Whose crafted words lay him bare
when spoken like a pleading prayer
with voice as intricate as lace:
a kiss of satin, soft embrace.

Refrain: I love the man.

I love the man, so cold, alone,
eternal stranger doomed to roam
who haunts my nights; he gives, but keeps,
Keeps what chains him as his prison sleeps.

Refrain: I love the man.
Bridge: I'm longing.
Refrain: I love the man.

My love can little ease his ache;
I may not of his whole partake -
red passion burns for him whose time
is bound, and who can ne'er be mine.

Refrain: I love the man.
