Thickets & Vines

from Somewhere Nowhere by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

live a life under starry skies
rabbits in the clouds and two owls that cry
full jungle moon is beautiful tonight
she draws my shadow in its silvery light

then her moonstruck gaze leaves me all amazed
by that look on her face I can tell what she’d say
it reflects in her iris that this time she'll stay
for a kiss under cover of the pouring rain

truth was told
on when and why
so she rolled the dice

down a trail so steep through thickets and vines
to a secluded lair where we’re going to hide
by a stream so clear profanely baptized
she reads me to sleep I stare to make her smile

yes she knows
where to go
for our delight

skipped the rope
tale unfolds
and our eyes shine

neglect my duties drunk from her fragrance
violet water lilies a scent so intense
dazed by her beauty and sacrificing sense
crawl into the safety I feel through her hands
and I know she's right

all through the light into the night
reading the signs between the lines
asked her to stay and she gave way
all through the night into the light
into the light.
