Be My Valentine Lyrics

Bob Tilton Be My Valentine

In the morning we ran

with the sun fresh in our eyes.

We knew no reading of time.



Together we bathed in the rainfall

and we washed our skins clean.

And each night when the orange sun fell

from our eyes,

we found music in the streams.

A broken moon echoed our songs

while we lay with our mouther.

And we heard the earth turn,

scratched the surface

and found our belonging,

never quite assuming her colour.



I with the sad eyes,

you with the ruined smile,

we licked (kissed) the face of heaven,

tasted nothing.

I with the sad eyes,

you with the ruined smile,

we lost our hands in the earth

where we graved our dead.



Our dreams never found each other,

all the angels' wings were clipped.



We took a stone from the water

and fell from tune.

We tore the trees from the ground

and wept with every rainfall.

We clawed at each others' eyes

and tore the hair from our heads.

We bled so hard we could no longer stand.

We cried for each other

and we cried for ourselves.



And we remained

still

(we remain...)
