lyrics

Last night so sharp was feeling so tender
were our lips and hands,
in your arms all sound was light,
all was joy and all was love, so

my young man don't make your mind up yet
won't you look into my heart and see
that all of my blood is still red
the light from the moon and all those words left unsaid
oh my young man come lie down in my bed
and don't you make your mind up yet

night is long and we forget that
the earth beneath us has slowly turned
and in the still movement of sleep
we have also turned, so

my young man...

when you're the sun and i'm the land
give me all your fear and fire
when i'm the moon and you're the waves
i'll make you move as i desire

my young man...
