Selene & Endymion

Would you love me if I made you coffee
 Every morning for a thousand years
 In the evening you tell me a story
 About a hunter turned into a deer
 We talk for hours in a sentimental fashion
 Breathing in the languid perfume of the moon
 And pick the flowers that we'll lay out on their coffins
 Cold winter comes oh, so soon
 The light of your eyes
 And the curve of your smile (And the curve of your smile)
 The lovely surprise of (The glow of)
 Your skin in the dark
 Lie for a while
 And I'll be by your side (And I'll be by your side)
 Meantime the moments won't make a mark
 Like Selene and Endymion
 We'll watch the string of days go by
 You will shine and I will lie down
 To observe you in the midnight sky
 Our history is just one dream after another
 Written down in a shaky script
 I can see the here and ever after
 In the curve of your blood red lips
 The light of your eyes
 And the curve of your smile (And the curve of your smile)
 The lovely surprise of (The glow of)
 Your skin in the dark
 Lie for a while
 And I'll be by your side (and I'll be by your side)
 Meantime the moments won't make a mark
 When you sleep, sleep with one eye open
 And you'll see me watching over you
 Wake me gently and the spell will be unbroken
 We'll walk the garden in eternal bloom
