Tonight, Forever Yours

Time it undresses
The fiction & wreckage
Of all to which we lay claim
More than a thief, well, I'd like to think
Time's brought me more gifts than grief

Infinite numbers
Of lovers and others
Get caught in our web of desire
Want and need are two different things
Thank God for unanswered prayers

We promenade
Through this great expanse
Spun round & round by some unseen hand
For all that I know, a presence unknown
Went to all this trouble for us

Do - Si - Do
Round the room of crossed up hearts
I'd like to believe
You're the reason I'm seeing stars
Reason enough
My feet can't feel the floor
Reason enough
Tonight, forever yours

Pushing us under
The current grew stronger
Downriver we washed ashore
Forged together with fire and hammer
Forever to change our course

When the dust settles
It does beg the question
Of how a love it will grow
There’ve been plenty of reasons for lovin’, for leavin’
You always were ever my home

We promenade
Through this great expanse
Fortune’s the mistress of pure happenstance
Saddled and broke by all that I know
I find solace with one of my kind

Do - Si - Do
Round the room of crossed up hearts
I'd like to believe
You're the reason I'm seeing stars
Reason enough
My feet can't feel the floor
Reason enough
Tonight, forever yours
