Lyrics

RAPTOR

Hello, my heart, we meet again as friends
in this Quixotic realm
hello, my breath- out and again-
you always overwhelm

And if there?s only one thing
and if there?s only one thing
I wish to say:-
that if you knew love like I knew you
you?d never walk away

Your plexus solar near me I can feel us crawling
towards the nearest flood
so ?...unsex me here and take my milk for gall,
make thick my blood...?*

And if there?s only one thing
and if there?s only one thing
I wish to say:
that if you knew love like I knew you
you?d never walk away

Take my tulips for your two lips in this windmill of love
give your two wings to freedom?s ring whence by my leave, your rapture...

And if there?s only one thing
and if there?s only one thing
I?d wish to say:-
that if you knew love like I knew you
you?d have never walked away

*Lady Macbeth (from Shakespeare?s ?Macbeth?) as quoted in film ?Lost and Delirious?
