Lyrics
Don't ask me if I'm all right
I will start to cry
a leaky faucet I'm turned on
by the pity in your eye
We are trembling birds on a wire
Rising on the wings of our desire
Flower to sunshine I turn for your kiss
And I am lost an Atlantis
If I fell in a wishing well the sounds I would make
are the splash of indecision
what should I create?
I know our love can light up rooms of time
If you leave your life and I leave mine
Air is leaking out of our raft with a hiss
and I am lost, an Atlantis
I miss the tangles in your hair
looking down on me
and I miss it when you touch me there
our divine symmetry
sadness is crashing over me in waves
spewing out my underwater caves
I never thought our meeting
would ever come to this
and I am lost, an Atlantis
