You came
with noble abandon: Your hair the corona-the
jet stream!
You soothed me all through
the long night,
turned a fever
into a sweet dream.
I cried,
struck dumb by the sigh: a cool love, still,
in your eyes.
Meanwhile, the world turns,
oblivious,
while we lie together, entwined.
Sweet caprice, I won't forget you.
Providence, divine to me, dear.
To bring you to these shores,
o, calendar, you've blessed me with these years.
(Chorus)
Your arms-languorous and lithe-
hold me close, make me feel alive.
