One life, once touched,

         now hungers for you, dear love

One soul, once touched,

         is captured by you, dear love

Carve me deep lines in the sand by the dawn,

Paint my face with the dew

Walk me through bright fields of sunrise and song

Beauty and wonder softly thunder in you

One kiss, warm breath,

         now searches for you, sweet love

These lips, caressed,

         now whisper for you, sweet love

Bathe me in innocent waters below,

Clothe me with Heaven and rain

Kiss me in crimson and colours unknown

Each soft word spoken underwoven with pain

One love, untried,

         now breathes life for two, my love

This heart, denied,

         now ransomed by you, my love

Carry me slowly through deep fountains drawn,

Lingering untouched and true

Here in your arms I am washed with the dawn

My heart uncovered ever hungers for you
