This Moment

This moment with you Fleeting paralysis Complete surrender Into your arms Through light you led me To the dark once more A frivolous round trip We held so tightly As to crush it all Shattered notions of love Words said for their own sake They pollute the path we walked And into the night I now tread Without your guiding kiss No warm and reassuring touch Only the sharp and frigid cobble The matter-of-fact earth beneath Do I now know and love It asks for nought yet still lay Immemorial provider For each cut it gifts my skin Every bruise I now cherish I shall rejoice in the present Knowing I can no longer be alone The earth my unwaivering support This moment with you Fleeting paralysis Complete surrender Into your arms Through light you led To the dark once more A frivolous round trip We held so tightly As to crush it all Shattered notions of love Words said for their own sake They pollute the path we walked [fade into outro]
