about
The naive optimism felt at the beginning of a love affair, I wrote this one a long time ago, and to this day it captures that sense of a dawn of things to come...
lyrics
Mercy, mercy me -
Firstly I was like falling like the autumn,
Summer sweet morning, rise and shine
By my side, her eyes are wide like horizons
Brim of the brightness, simmering likeness
To Miss right, the finest
If I could be a king, divine would be my highness
If needs be a servant, rather for Aphrodite,
Verses rapping lightly round her figure,
Paint a picture like Da Vinci
With a quincy jones symphony playing...
She orchestrates my life, I'm singing and praying
To stay composed, the song flows to the rose that God grows,
Beyond the ragged garden of thorns,
Hearts can be torn, but i trust yours and mine
To be entwined like vines and the sweetest wine shall pour...
She and I mature, fine and pure, so I am sure
What the Lord was designing for, time affords
A life together, joint storybook we're right together
Feels like forever, and if I thought it might be never
I'd be wrong, rhyming songs just to try and sever,
The sadness of absence,
Too much room on the mattress...
