Dress
Zen and Win

Delight young maiden in your dress
of pearly silk and feathered breast
waiting on the bed for thee
the steam of your delicious bath
is perfuming thy flesh for me

The water has washed the day from here
Unwound and thought of the time you near
I'll come to you in the candle lit room
The rain is falling the time is soon
We are together there is nothing to fear

Sing, sing, sweetly, softly
bring to my ears the truest of loves
bring, bring, thy steady breathing
the intimate silences we are needing
falling asleep to thy sound

I'll dream the dream I've long been wanting
Knowing there is nothing I'm needing
You hold me tight and I know I'm home
No more long nights spent all alone
With you so near my heart will keep beating

Awake, wise woman and walk to the window
the afternoon is bathed in shadow.
The finest soap to wash the years
has cleaned and scrubbed with ill-spent tears
the dress thy dreams did know

My lord to wake right by your side
It's time to reveal the fear I hide
Having you so close to me
Holding my hand and touching the sea
Only with you, come be my guide

Peace, my Lady who fears the tide
Thy bosom heavy, thy eyelids wide
And child will come to thee again
Before the next fresh sigh of rain
Bring candles to light for me

The sun is setting the night is here
The candles I have to bring you near
Come to the flames and feel the heat
Your hand on my breast can you feel the beat
Give me your hand, I want you my dear

You are mine and I am thine
let sweat be love's pearl-scented wine
lost within thy warming skin
Breathing in thy scent, now bring
thy body and fill my mind

Your every wish is my command
Your mind will have its every desire
It's time to make your last demand
Burn this passion with your fire
I am yours, so take me sire

Don't mourn, my widow, for my final wish
is to feel again thy tender kiss.
Keep thy thought on daily chore
and mend thy dress for me once more.
I shall find thee through the end.

Sing, sing, sweetly, softly
waken my spirit with your desire
A dead man under a stone's grey shadow
is now a young man in sunny meadow
Waiting to take you home
