Honor Wishes
Joan as Police Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you stay with me anyway
Would you love me and not my need to be loved
Would you honor my wishes
Would you trust me
Do you really want to
In the garden of delight
And would you honor my wishes
Will we ever meet again
In the house where we started
Will I feel the suede of your skin
As you move to turn off the light

At the end of the song, the individual reminisces about the affinity they have for their lover's touch and wonders if they will ever feel it again.
