Last Night in Orient

The whitest glow left blind, feeling safe though in its hold
Your touch sends shivers to my soul, baptism of a different order
When I see her beauty I do feel, and it's the first time
And without knowing I know, this world will never be the same
I see pictures in albums I've not lived, yet I know that I took everyone
Her skin feels like I touch my own, and it feels like forever
Oh in her eyes I feel, beauty never known or imagined
I've shown everything I am in just this single moment
To the glory to the pain, and for a love I try to explain
For the moments ever rare, gone in a flash let them live here
Hold this day let it live, you may write about it one day
As the years stack up beside the fear, holding signs that say I wish I'd, if I'd
Brought my hand to her cheek one more time, or listened closer to I love you
And maybe not let what I don't understand keep me guarded or running scared
To the glory to the pain, and for a love I try to explain
For the moments ever rare, gone in a flash let them live here
The silence breaking still, either with or without warning
I ride the river i mind the tide,
mostly now in silence though I
Walked with you in dream again last night, I woke, and you were still there
I need you to stay in these pages for a while, I need to be on my way
To the glory to the pain and for a love I try to explain
For the moments ever rare, gone in a flash let them live here
