Transliteration Š lyrics to song
If I asked you to lock
the door and enfold the key
close the lights, would
you do it for me?
Why for you, should this I do?
That you may leave
your coat like a
butterfly its home,
draw me so near
you feel all alone.
That I might flow in the
sea of your gaze, seek its
horizon, fall into grace.
that I might free the
shadows in your hair,
breath in the passion,
rising in the air.
If I left this life, betrayed
all that you see and the
spell fell unspoken
would you restore this to me?
Why for you, wouldnÕt this I do?
Because youÕd remember
the ocean of our skin,
the heat of my heart,
my desire rushing in.
You would recall the feel of
my face, traveling, seeking,
finding each place.
Because youÕd hear
the song of our words
singing again
what we just heard.
If wisdom then,
is the way to embrace,
let us go walk in
summer enlaced.
No, not you nor I can go
return to a world
we no longer know.
I wonÕt again turn away
from deep beyond
where united we stay.
I beg you please
donÕt rise in haste
from this feast
of your loverÕs taste.
If I asked you to lock
the door and enfold the key
close the lights, would
you do it for me?
Yes, for you this I do.
That we may leave
our coats like a
butterfly its home,
draw you so near
I feel all alone.
That we may flow in the
sea of our gaze, seek its
horizon, fall into grace.
that we may free the
shadows in our hair,
breath in the passion,
rising in the air.
If I asked you to lock
the door and enfold the key
close the lights, would
do it for me?
Yes, for you
this I do.
