Dancing Lover
How does your lover look?
Her beauty varies with the light.
At dawn she is translucent,
Skin tinted by the sun’s quiet rays.
Afternoon she shines and
Evening time somber hair,
Pale skin, grey eyes.
How does your lover move?
Let me tell you how she moves.
Oh, how she moves.
She moves like wind.
Each step a gust,
Which gathers leaves then scatters them in a frantic autumn dance.
How does your lover dance?
She dances like morning with the measured gait of an early breeze,
She lingers like twilight then explodes in darkness.
Her steps spin the world.
Slow dawn, still dusk, fast night.
Oh, how my lover dances.
How does your lover look?
Her beauty varies with the light.
At dawn she is translucent,
Skin tinted by the sun’s quiet rays.
Afternoon she shines and
Evening time somber hair,
Pale skin, grey eyes.
How does your lover move?
Let me tell you how she moves.
Oh, how she moves.
She moves like wind.
Each step a gust,
Which gathers leaves then scatters them in a frantic autumn dance.
How does your lover dance?
She dances like morning with the measured gait of an early breeze,
She lingers like twilight then explodes in darkness.
Her steps spin the world.
Slow dawn, still dusk, fast night.
Oh, how my lover dances.
