LIKE MOTH TO A FLAME - by Dominique Hawn

The twilight too dark too see even the hint of rain
The air dreary, damp and carrying a feeling of utter disdain
and your put your healing hand overtop of our strain
Figuring in the mistakes, and counting up the blame
And said, "well Princess lets never do that again"
sometimes I swear I must wear the mark of cain

you shook my world like a loose windowpane
so fast, so liquid that before I knew what to ascertain
of this storm I brought, this giant hurricane
you had pulled me out before I had time to explain
I just wanted to make sure our love will remain
you see your my sweet man, my sugarcane
the one the only, is the platform of my campaign
and though we sometimes loose more than gain
this devotion feels as if it must have been preordained

And in the summer passion, when I RIDE THAT TRAINs
with you seemingly wrapped around me in an enchanted chain
I wonder what wisdom this year we may gain.
and what direction will we get sent by the weather vane
you see you seeped into my blood though my lips, my veins
and now I can feel you as if we are the same membrane
holding together all the parts of us that retain
the rapture of the other underneath our blush-amour campaign
you see you my sweet man, are my one, my sugarcane
and never seem to get carried under the weight of the pain
and we struggled too hard to get what we attained.

more like our love to the sky it remains
no one to kick us down emotional terrain
its you, its me, and right here right now we remain
thick as thieves seeking saviour in own made up domain.
inside the sanctuary we like call our own plane
of existence you see, cause there is none like our fame
and baby, love, you ain't go to try to explain
what happened with that late hour and apathy stain
as long as you come back like moth to flame
come back even if all you can remember is the pain.
cause I can tell you how I got there, I can explain
but I know already this cherished involvement is more than maintained

All of this virtue was in me long before any blemish or disdain
and so forward I walk with my hands and feet bloodstain
and I got no reason to cry or complain
just a feeling inside my heart too big to contain
do you think we could toss aside all the pain,
what about my mouth so full and profane
do you think ever a love was so heavenly ordained?
Or did you find some other experience where that pertained?

you see I'm just doing the general motions to regain
all that was lost and to make sure that I let you retrain
all the parts of me, where you rule my brain
and all the things that for which you pertain
and I want nothing more than your sweat engrained
deep into my skin so that when I feel like I can't restrain
myself from your body, that gorgeous powertrain
that sho nuff you're here with me, my sugarcane
I take my oath, my vows to you, and none in vain
that you are my one and only, my ball and chain
And real talk, I give my word, will all promises the same
I swear I'll never ever fuck up this hard again.
