The summer rain swept across the hills in transparent curtains
And as the river rose towards me I had thoughts of you
But while I was away you had been taking to another
Another lover, another lover
Heaven knows I've no shame, my love
Keep it up until I drift enough
Every inch you let me take had only crystallized you
Yet another skin you've shed, but things will go differently now
The night was dotted with a thousand asterisks between us
And each one had winked its exception to unspoken rules
The crescent moon closed the loose end of a parenthetical
For its condition, for its condition
Heaven knows I've no shame, my love
Keep it up until I drift enough
Every inch you let me take had only crystallized you
Yet another skin you've shed, but things will go differently now
I couldn't see that it was closing in from such a distance
It seemed suspended, motionless, like some desert mirage
Oh, but how the reachings of the mind can come to fruition
I didn't listen, I didn't listen
Heaven knows I've no shame, my love
Keep it up until I drift enough
Every inch you let me take had only crystallized you
Yet another skin you've shed, but things will go differently now
Heaven knows I've no shame, my love
Keep it up until I drift enough
Every inch you let me take had only crystallized you
Yet another skin you've shed, but things will go differently now
