Heaven's Song
She moves to
him like water, they hope to intertwine
And dance
with the river's daughter
And drink the
good god's wine
But the
feeling ever lingers on that there's just not much time
Well maybe,
maybe there is
He makes a
small commitment with his heart inside his head
But nothing
has been written
And he's
living in the red
His dealings
are so shaky and he wants her love so bad
Well maybe,
maybe he has
All of
heaven's pouring all of heaven's song
Into the
fires of bodies that have waited much too long
For a moment,
any moment that will mean anything
To the
dancers and the poets
Who always
wait for spring, always
In fuzzy
aberrations they clasp and turn away
It's just not
in their faces
At least
that's what they say
They want a
sign of sureness or else they'll walk away
Well maybe,
maybe they have
But love is
just a moment and fire is never still
They can't
forget the torment
That hang's
behind the thrill
So sad that
grownups know this, can't forget the bitter pill
Well maybe,
maybe they will
