1)

I would ride my heart

On my shirt sleeve

For her to believe.

Theres a child in me,

With a burn,

To dirty his knees.

And, Ive held my tongue

For the right words,

And the right way.

And, Ive held my time

For her left hand,

On the right day.



(CHORUS)

She gave me, a passionflower tonight.

She gave me, a passionflower tonight.



(2)

But, soft,

What yonder

Light breaks?

Theres a moon

In the melody,

Filling the night

With a sweet silence.

A sweet silence.

And she showed me

What music was like,

With soft pale hands

In the soft pale moonlight,

And eyes so old.

She showed me the notes

Of the softly played tune

That is filling the room.



(CHORUS)
