THE WAY YOU MOVED THROUGH NIGHT

In all the world there is no one who can console me, except you
I think of you and recall distant places and the way you moved through night
The way you touched all things, and the way they touched you back
The echo's of the innocence, we ran, and danced, and laughed
We represented imagery, of that which we revered on mountain tops
Of those lost and lovely reflections we swam for, laying upon the rocks
In the middle of the moon covered waters, where we first spied ourselves
Nakedly bathing in our arrogance and longing for the summer swells
It was more than magic then, the way love worked In our lives
More than magic when we first kissed, through peril that stormy night 
It was as though the heavens, were singing through our yearning
And little drops of moonlight were blessing our coming journey
The reason I can recall these moments, of you, and me, then us
Is the way you moved through night, an apparition of things to come
Its that very ghost of you,  I can recall, never asking me to run
Just gently leading me, into a night time silvery waltz
Spinning through the peril and happiness of it all
Yes, it was all intertwined, the danger, the pleasure of it
Still breaks me down inside, I can still taste the pleasure of it
The way you moved through night, just as you do right now
In the swirling of the treetops, the moon drops on your brow
It never even occurred to me, that you were not celestial light
For I was instantly hypnotized, watching you move through night.....
