You took my hands
Though they were cold,
Redeemed my body
Young for old,
Returned my silver
Hair to gold
And said it was a dream.
You stole the shadow
From my eyes,
Replaced the dark
With starry skies,
Then softly laughed
At my surprise
And said inhale the theme.
You kissed a smile
From every frown,
Our bodies danced
In eiderdown.
We fell so deep
As if to drown
In passion's racing stream.
Though they were cold,
Redeemed my body
Young for old,
Returned my silver
Hair to gold
And said it was a dream.
You stole the shadow

At my surprise
And said inhale the theme.
You kissed a smile
From every frown,
Our bodies danced
In eiderdown.
We fell so deep
As if to drown
In passion's racing stream.
