Paradise

When I hold you I can hear your body sing
So I give you myself as my offering
And hope and trust that I will be enough for
You since it is you yourself which you give me
Nothing less than everything no less no more
Than the real meaning of that word "reality"

The only thing I know about things like this
Is I love how you drive me mad with your hair
How you blast me off into space with your kiss
To search the night between the stars and find you there

Born once although I want to be born twice
I want to go back where I came from within
The universe of you beyond pain and sin
Where I make love to Eve in paradise

Woman oh woman oh sister of my soul
Take me break me make me the mirror of you
Defeat me complete me in shared victory
I need you since only you can make me whole
You it is inspires me to do what I do
Woman sweet woman sweet sister of my soul
