lay your word
1985
quiet in the daylight a reflection of a ray against the thoughts you resurrect with the sounds of yesterday quiet are the skeletons in coffins of our past pale are our memories oh would our fusion last lay your word here in my ear let your breath play around that i can hear let the rhythm of our chords be one will you come lay your voice agains my head with your lips a fire of burning red let the rhythm of our chords be one will you come quiet the reflection of your image in the rain through the glass of my distant past now broken by its pain quiet are the visions and our union put away in the cellars of my past and its deaf to what i say
