Black Silk
Before the demons slip and crawl
Comes an offer that I can’t refuse
I only have my mind to lose
Wondering how love can last
Remembering when love is past
The memories return too soon
Black silk in the afternoon
How can I trust someone else
When I can’t keep promises to myself?
Am I crying for what I never had?
Leaving when the going gets bad?
Am I keeping my love to myself
Or giving it to someone else?
Waiting in a scented room
Black silk in the afternoon
In our secret rendezvous
We can’t tell night from day
Here inside with you
The outside world just slips away
Skin glowing like a hazy moon
Warm sighs to soothe my wounds
Never thought my heart could beat so fast
That you could make the feeling last
Looking back now I can see
How yesterday got ahead of me
Waiting in a rented room
Black silk in the afternoon
