On Loving You
Your smile melted my defences into the sunset sky
Just the loving me stood in front of you hating every lie
The way you carried us through the years
And the way you tell me you love me, love truth bares.
In this summer sun you came.. past, slate clear stone would melt
I remember you, for us I knelt
And without a sigh without so much as a whisper
the door was about to open, right there.
Is it these palm trees that soak in the sun
this gravel that at night whispers in the candle light
Waves role into forever, our embrace, darkness our of sight
You soaked me into it all, that sunset rolling into the night.
