Your Private Charms

about

lyrics

My eyes are stinging, here's the train
Third rail buzzing, motion ceasing
Speak selectively, give words wings
Sway'st gently, tumble easy
Secret knots entwine, firmly bind
Disentangle, breathless strangle
Apprehensive, the trembling strings
Whispers boldest, wishes wildest

Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I see you?
Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I know you so well?

Oh, to delight in your private charms!
A burning hidden sun
Glowing for me
Evermore await the horizon's slip

Nigh induration, emboldened
Fated unknown, wildflower seeds sewn
Cross the crowded room, murmur soft
Stunned and weak-kneed, melt completely
Forever alights, here with you
Finite wonder, muffled thunder
Two mere occasions, day and night
Fleeting magic, distant tragic

Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I feel you?
Who was I before you?
Who can I be now that I hold you in my heart?

Oh, to delight in your private charms!
A burning hidden sun
Glowing for me
Evermore await the horizon's slip

I've made songs deemed charming and lush. Sounds about right. ... more
