If We Could Stay

If you should tremble in my arms

(Holding back from you could prove infinitely tough)

just as your heart trembles with each word I write -

If we could stay, would the night be enough?

If we should lie naked in each other's arms again

or we kiss far, far deeper than we did before

with moonlight streaming through a window -

If we could stay, would the shipwrecked reach the shore?

If we should push away dark shadows with lightning

Fill days with thunder or with gentle rain

If we should recreate days and nights long gone

And whisper intimately once again

of dreams and Ferris wheels and other such stuff -

But if we could stay, would the night really be enough?
