The Song Of You

The wind blows love songs from afar
And rides the night on a fallen star;
A glow of light from enchanted skies
Holds the trance that stills my eyes.
I'll kiss the song that fills the air
With haunting words that rise and flare.
 
Eyes of flame that know not shame
Speak of love and call my name;
Knowing eyes, soft glowing eyes,
That burn with tears and loves' surprise
To draw my heart so close to you
As rosebuds draw the mornings dew.
 
If I should be a great strong tree
Your tender self could lean on me.
Your touch would start and tear apart
Flames that consume an aching heart.
And I would be but smoke to rise
Forever lost in empty skies.
