with you is beautiful,
the best I've ever known
Hands that flow along the air
like streams over a stone
The crack I saw that broke the sky,
showed me where I fell
That place you touched somewhere in me,
you saw but could not tell
Took my hands along your skin
and pressed them to your breast
Till every line between us
disappeared at last
Cursed the chains of loneliness and
the roads that don't look back
Take me to that avenue
where you put me on the track
If we are the soul of always me and you
Then this is the one I won't forget
If there was a mouth, a kiss,
a heart before we even knew
Then we must have touched
before we even met
I think of life's destructiveness
How far the dark can reach
Help me off this bed of nails,
we know what it can teach
The blades of time can cut the lie,
that skin is never blessed
That lie was made up by a priest,
with nothing to confess
Tears are rolling down his cheek,
they'll never blur the pain
Like steam around an engine,
can never hide the pain
I see the smoke rise in your voice,
it drifts without a sound
The flames, they reach up in your eyes
as they burn me to the ground
We are the son of all
that's me and you
And that is the one I won't forget
If there was a mouth, a kiss,
a heart, before we even knew
Then we must have touched
before we even met
Then we must have touched be
fore we even met
You
