Amie
Underneath the moon’s decaying arc
I feel the beat of someone else’s heart
Ankle-wet in the gloaming of the night
We’re both scared, but part of it’s alright
The waterway, it carries, carries you
And when I let go, it’ll carry, carry me, too
We’ll slide along like salmon in the lunar glow
The dizziness of a falling and a letting-go
(Instrumental)
We pass beneath the forest’s boughs (arms/limbs) until we reach a dell
A moonstruck meadow held by nighttime’s spell
I lay down my blanket on the dewy grass
And when you first take my hand, I know the spell’s been cast
The sky’s impaled on a greatsword (broadsword/sword that’s) forged of sharpened stars
The silver light of Venus is outshining Mars
Underneath her light we do as lovers do
When I first touch your face, I feel I always knew (?)
(Instrumental)
As the moon goes down, your face begins to fade
But when the sun comes up, I know your love has stayed
Now they say I’m a liar and they don’t believe
But I can’t forget how we first met on midsummer’s eve
(Instrumental)
