Sometimes my life appears to be orchestrated by cruel symbolism and irony. The other night, my jeweled heart fell out of my ring, and disappeared, leaving only a crush of miniscule diamonds in it's wake. I never even found the amethyst heart, it disappeared into the recesses of my bed, never to reappear.
and now,these past few weeks, spent here in the temporary coocoon of greenwich, as I drive these familiar windy hills, and listen to my many cd's, there is one song in particular that claws at my solitary thoughts.
For you see, once upon a time. Someone sang to me all through the slivered night, as a mad spring rain lashed against the antique roof. What started out as friends, became lovers and ended without the lovers that stayed friends part.
and this song, that he sang, before we were lovers, a few weeks before we concieved this baby.
tells more of our tangled fate, than I ever could.
and when I drive these same green ribboned hills, that we drove,spring into summer in our misguided bid to lover each other a gentle goodnight...I am reminded how sadly, how badly, it can all end.
How much would I give, to have remained just friends?
but oh, I can't answer that. to undo it all, would unravel the beauty that has taken root inside of me.
She kicks me, and flutters awake, when this song is playing.and the words tumble through me and narrate my life. but, somehow it is more the tale of our precious baby, than it was ever mine.
~say goodbye~
So here we are tonight,
you and me together
The storm outside, and the fire is bright
Oh, and in your eyes I see
what's on my mind
You've got me wild
turned around inside
Oh and then desire, see, is creeping
up heavy, oh inside here
And I know you feel the same way as
I do now
let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
just for an evening
When we will make it,
our passionate pictures
You and me twist up;
secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Yeah, Oh, go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
to the best
Of all we can offer, Oh this rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Oh Girl, oh just tonight
Run away here with me
On an evening oh just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Oh wait and see me,
Oh tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours
until the sun comes.. it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Yeah, Oh go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, oh please
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
Tonight let's be lovers, oh yeah
Tonight let's be lovers
And hear me call, oh soft-spoken whispering love
Well, a thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Oh Love I can see you,
Just for an evening
Oh, let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
and away yeah.. yeah
And tomorrow
back to being friends yeah
and now lovers...love...yeah... yeah..
Just for tonight, one night...love you... yeah
And tomorrow say goodbye
Tomorrow say goodbye... (Repeat 2x)
