Lyrics
temple
his approach is slow and soft.
the corners of his mouth curl into a smile.
i pull him into my arms
and harvest his warmth into my frozen heart.
i am a desert flame in the evening sky
he is a willow rooted in the earth.
and, if i'm not careful, oh, i fear
i may burn his trunk right up to his branches.
if we are skin to skin
i'd still pull closer, so our bodies are one.
i put my lips on his,
and give him my love, a child-like innocence.
he is a temple in a place of war
i am the soldier that fires his arms.
and, if i'm not careful, oh, i fear
i may corrupt his walls right down to the tiles.
if pain hangs in the air, he is morphine for me to breathe.
the nerves in my lungs... once more i can sing!
and, if love is a drug, he is the strongest ecstacy.
pumping through my blood - we can dance again.
