You come to me
slipped from a dream
and from that lofty platform
where all players have played their parts
beneath that opulent moon
the curse of the star-crossed
the sorrowful stars have scattered
I knew your song
you sang it well
transfixed, I stood there
on the ballroom floor
picking out my destiny
one heartbreak at a time
It was then that I was drawn
when hot hands touched
palm to palm
the holy palmer's kiss
the clock stopped
like a time travel pendulum
Look there now
I was never the sun
knowing full well
than to swear by the moon
that deceptive luminare
casting upon
a jewel in the night
tears falling down on the cheek of those
destined to part in sweet sorrow
love that was stronger
but burned less
than moderate mankind
could handle...
