Daybreak
With you I lay
In our shades of lust and hate
A love song on replay
And each gentle kiss
Like petals falling on my skin
I bloom with your touch
You breathe colour into my veins
With words I can't resist
Like a butterfly caught by spring
I'll remain deep in your scent
Oh oh teach me how to see the end
When I know
We'll always ignite with the morning light
The world awakens to your glow
So it goes
You're the warmth of a coffee cup
The daydream of first love
And each gentle kiss
Like petals falling on my skin
I bloom with your touch
In the way
You breathe colour into my veins
With words I can't resist
Like a butterfly caught by spring
I'll remain deep in your scent
Oh oh teach me how to see the end
When I know
We'll always ignite with the morning light
And now good-morrow to our waking souls
For love, all love of other sights controls
And makes one little room an everywhere
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown
Let us possess one world
Each hath one, and is one
And in the way
You breathe colour into my veins
Ah ah ah ah
Like a butterfly caught by spring
I'll remain deep in your scent
Oh oh teach me how to see the end
When I know
We'll always ignite with the morning light
