Ariadne’s Gone

Lay down beside me
 I want you to touch me
 I know we're not friendly that way.
 I walk the sands
 Where your temple still stands
 Now you've gone where you wanted to go.
 I'm looking for signs of her
 Left from your time with her
 Proof that you've needed a woman.
 Here on the land where she promised to stay
 At your command, 'cause you want it that way
 And she's plastic.
 Love changes hands
 He wears stars on his skin
 And he's tall as your columns of marble
 He says come take my hand now
 I want you to stand now
 For some things are greater than fiction.
 I'll write my poems and letters for this
 Pulled from the air are the words that you give
 If you're willing.
 Here give your hand to me
 Come near and be with me
 Friend, won't you stay here a while?
 Friend, won't you stay here a while?
