When I looked into your eyes
I saw fear, hunger and desire
As we danced in the lonesome hour

You look away, shaking without control
What is it of that you are afraid?
If only determinations were easily made

Carefully, I lean against you
Reaching out with my hand
Hoping to touch the shadow to comprehend

But we remain as silhouettes
When we begin our waltz tonight
Black and white.

Twisting and twirling, our bodies intertwine
As our lips gain the color of fine wine
We chase each others hearts and hues

Creating pictures with our words
And rainbows in the music heard
No longer dancing to dancer

But to human.

As we sway to the midnight charm
You held me in your arms
With the both of us to never see the world again.

Only in darkness shall we begin
To find our kin of light anew
In our dance within the lonesome hour.
