Your arms are so very long
They wrap round me twice comin’ back around
Down we look at shiny pavements
Stepping to that eastern cadence
Chorus:
Pluck my heart strings till they burst
And it won’t be my last or your first
Coz we are magic people, we do magic things
We are magic creatures, we dream magic dreams
I am oh so very small
Both hands fit in yours like a marble
Side by side we don our masks and
Shoot for the stars but land with a crash
The sound of those notes from your lungs
Tickle my ears and warm my blood
I wiggle like a worm, fall deeper in your harmonic turns
Oh those notes that colour the air
Steal to my side in your lovely stare
I struggle to define the fire that burns in our eyes
In the pockets of the moon
I watch the earth turn as you spoon me
This won’t last but until then
We’ll dance and sing before the end
