We had music for dinner, heady and sweet
To wash the bitterness of words from our lips
My love for you is irreversible and strong like a song
In your slow voice, I heard suggestion
In your reaches, I felt perfection
I will linger on inside your wordless poetry of melody
Daddy, I'm a bad girl, give it to me straight
Don't tell me life is honey when you and I know it ain't
Daddy
I couldn't be your angel, I had to steal a kiss
And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless
If this night could find tomorrow, and I gave words to my sorrow
I'd find solace in the prospect of belief
But I couldn't spare the roses, when I drowned
. . .


And the nature of your virtue is my grief
Your trap was so enticing, I could not resist
Your promise so inviting, playing out upon your lips
I couldn't be your angel, I had to steal a kiss
And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless
If each twilight's yours alone
And your lover feels like home
You will know the blessing you have been to me
If this night could find tomorrow
And I gave words to my sorrow
I'd find solace in the prospect of belief
But I couldn't spare the roses when I drowned the weeds
And the nature of your virtue is my grief
Your game was so exciting, I could not resist
You radiate so blinding, my pulse froze in my wrists
I couldn't be your angel
But I couldn't spare the roses when I drowned the weeds
I couldn't be your angel, I had to steal a kiss
And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless
I couldn't be your angel
And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless
I couldn't be your angel
And if you could be here now, I wouldn't be desireless
