From the recording 9. As You Lay Down
I wanted to capture that dizzying, overwhelming feeling you get when you're so much in love with someone.

AS YOU LAY DOWN

As you lay down, in the meadow, your auburn hair glows gold yellow.
And a seagull wings through the dawn, then it’s gone.
With the wind on its journey to be free, on the open seas.
And a cloud swerves, with icy nerves, leaving changing curves.
As you lay down, among the flowering, it’s a vision, so overpowering.
And I see red-violet skies, reflected, in your eyes.
The mist, on your bare skin, is a view of heaven.
And I wonder, oh wonder, why destiny,
has brought me a being, so lovely.
As you lay down, on the soft grass, a breeze of leaves, sweeps away the past.
And these feelings leave me quite reeling.
Their meanings are both sealed and revealed.
And I wonder, oh wonder, why destiny, has brought me,
such ecstasy.
As you lay down, by my side, your full lips form a beguiling smile.
And a sunbeam dances on the mist, waiting to be kissed.
Hopes and fears mingle in the warming air; laying bare,
All dreams and goals, and our bodies and souls.
And these feelings leave me quite reeling.
And I wonder, oh wonder, why destiny, has brought me,
such ecstasy.
