Tell me strange one ...would you hold her first
Embrace her chin in a caress
Run your fingers to her throat
Then tell me would you pull her
Closer to your chest
Would you caress her bare shoulders
Put all passions to this test
Then tell me would you waltz her
Carefully to your bed
Lay your hand to the small of back
Palm her lovely pretty head
Then take her eyes in carefully
Engulf her winsome moves
Make a bed for all night loving
Cut a fevered mattress groove
Then tell when can I be
Just where she is now
And why am I here waiting
With my hand above me brow
Oh love of shadows midnight
Oh man of no real name
Tell me why I still wait
When I'm tired but all the same
Sweet man of night dream's mystery
Why make me wait the more
Come Kevin, John or Donnie Boy
These passions beg, implore
Whomever you are Destiny
When ever my smile comes
The real in dreams of testimony
Will make me come undone.

...and the dreams they do persist.
