Alabaster

Met on the shore on a rainy dawn in late November
 'Speak not a word,' is what you wrote to me
 Shoes soaked in sand and a heavy coat around your shoulder
 A bird in a hand was what you gave to me.
 You stood so strong and the waves beyond were rollin' over
 Pullin' me close like the moon pulls on the sea
 I wanna ride on a road that turns a thousand corners
 Two beams of light, one for you and me
 A house in the hills and inside the sound of nervous laughter
 A bed of white unmade by you and me
 Your body of stone that I touch
 Until it turns to water was revealed to me
 Now I long to touch your tender skin of alabaster
 Shoulders as white as the peaks beyond the sea
 Arms in your arms and soon the room is spinning faster
 Eyes in your eyes are the only thing I see
 Love you so much so the only thing that you remember
 Is what it's like to be in love with me
