Lyrics

Lucentia (Mike Stav. Arranged by Patrick Copeland)

Measurable fortune hardly ever appealed to your style.
You turn me on.
Leaving the familiar is more easily done with a smile,
but when you?re close, I feel I?m alive again,
and when you sleep, I hold you tight.
I smell your skin, and close my eyes.
I kiss your hair, and reach for the light.

When you first said my name, I fell undone.
Each time you spoke, amused I would just stare.

First, your sunny sky turned to grey, then to rain.
Fragile as a watercolor painting, you melted for days.
You were bereft of things to say,
and when you tried,
it didn?t sound quite right,
and solitude bore only despair,
when love was needing you everywhere.

Precious, in these arms, here?s where we belong.
Promise me nothing. I won?t remember that far.
Aniu...Lucentia Aniu?Lucentia

Easier said, than done - ?Don?t worry; I?m on your side.
Ease your troubled mind; I?ll guide you through,
?till you reach the one the sun?s been racing after.

More the marble wastes, the mountain sinks deeper still.
Soft cell is sacrifice, while lucence buys you time,
even as twain are undone.

I have always loved you more ?
more than you?ll ever be loved by another.?

Measured fortune never appeals to your style.
Your style is driving? me out of my head,
but when you?re close, I feel I?m alive again,
and when you sleep, I hold you tight.
I smell your skin and close my eyes.
I kiss your hair and reach for the light.

When you first said my name, I fell undone.
Each time you spoke, amused I would just stare.
Lucence, you fascinate me,
wearing the earth?s own mantle.
Grasping my heart, you?re singing,
?No one loves you more.?
