Love, Lay Here Beside Me
Love, lay here beside me, my body quivering in the night.
Feel your soul wrapped around me, shade me from the light.
Embers rising in the fire cast shadows on the floor.
Quench these burning desires, having no deplore.
Love, lay here beside me, Keep me from the cold.
Wrap your arms around me as night starts to unfold.
The flame's growing weak, as we grow tired still.
Not a word to speak. This love we have fulfilled.
Emotions overwhelm us as night breaks into day.
Love lay here beside me, Please don't go away.
