Over

Take back the looks of love

Take back the whispers of desire

Take back the soft sweet kiss

Take the caress that fans the fire


Take back the keen and singing heart

Take passion and its fierce embrace

Take heat of skin, and sweat, and joy

Take back the prophesies of grace


Take back the one that comes from two

Take back the gift that has no cost

Take back your footsteps from my door

Take back the gain that has no loss



Take soaring hope that knows no fear

Take back the right that knows no wrong

Take dancing feet that never trip

Take back the music and the song


Take back your visage from my dreams

Take back sweet wet and tender dry

Take back the stars and leave the night

Take back the we and leave the I


Take back the keen and singing heart

Take back the whisper and the sigh

Take back your footsteps from  my door

Take back the we and leave the I
