The sweet muse inspires a song
I raise one eyebrow
And want to know why
I dance in your shadow
But you don't dance in mine
Watch you pick flowers
On a bright summers day
I see that your lonesome
As you walk away
Many a time
I have sat on my own
Listening quiet closely
Hidden by sun
If you were to know me
And me to know you
Would you look at me different
As I look at you
We pass in the night
Just barely a touch
Your presence is near
But is that nearly enough
If time where to stand still
If only a while
I would tattoo my name
Into fragments of you
Could I count love
In the palm of a hand
Answer quite slowly
Allow me to carve it a brand
Stealing a kiss
Through the breeze I would drift
Bury me close by
If I were to die
