IN A PASSIONATE HEAT

I saw you dance across the stage
Saw your stems bend in the heat and rain
I wanted to kiss you right away
But you disappeared in a curtain of gray
In the shadows of change
In the Milky Way

I saw your light
I saw your fire
I need you here
Each passionate hour
Like a blossoming moon
Caressing the night
I need to find you
Before daylight

I'm kissing you before we meet
Can nectar flow from such a garden's feet
Draped in red, before a flower grows
Emerges from the shadow
Drops its clothes

Can I take you home before we drink
Bottoms up
To this sizzling heat
Softly undress this velvet dream
Will you please wake up next to me

I need you here
I need your light
I need your hands
By the middle of tonight
Before the sun strikes gold
And the morning glows
Come torch your candle in my grove

Come cradle your desire
Let our ships set sail
As the hot winds blow
Let your sails unfold

Through oceans of starlight
Past each glorious morn
Come dance with me
As the seas grow old

I saw your fire
I saw your light
I will hold your blossom
Onto my heart, until we meet

Until these shadows pass
And I feel your dream

Draped next to mine, in a passionate heat
Awaken me
Awaken me
