Parallel Universes

When the night has dawned my shadow
When the breathing slows and the mind lets go
When the light silently
Opens a door

Strike me like a match, be your flame
Share a cigarette and a glance telling
Falling in love while in lust still in
I bit down hard

Our love, like grains of sand
Held in the grip of an open hand
If in time scattered by the wind
We held too tight

Love never demands
Love never coerces
In a dream of each other
Parallel Universe

Underneath the trees and the rock
There burns a fire I'd long forgot
Like the sun hidden away
I feel you at my core

But you are not the piece I'm missin'
Neither broken nor in need of fixin'
The daughter[?] unspoken but unseen[?]
It is the point

Deliver us from our pregnant pause
No more pressing fragrant flowers
In the book of the sacred hours
That we still write

Love never demands
Love never coerces
In a dream of each other
Parallel Universe

Love never demands
Love never coerces
In a dream of each other
Parallel Universe
