Just came out of my head.
When the flower quivers
So does my heart
My head
My soul
When the moon smiles
So does her lips
Her eyes
Her sighs

Love and rain
Love and rain
What a sweet pair
Like longing and pain
In the thrusting winds
Gusting of ice and fire
A sweet success
In the sour partings

What does my solitude account?
Never a kiss or desire
Never a spirit or romance
Never a swell or implosion
But still my words contain me
But still my words do fling me
Take me sin
If you give me love
Take me world
If it's the only way

No, sin can't give me love
No, the world is not my way
For the echoes of heaven call
And the angels whisper a name
I cannot make out the call
I cannot hear the whispers
But I know
It's love that beckons
And truth is the path I follow
