He poured the wine and lit the candle
She was thrown, as this seldom occurs
He slid his hand across the table
To be met and devoured by hers
“I’m sure that I hold you back
I’m sorry my fear is such
But love, your love is shapeless
It can seep into the moon
And fill the canyons and the craters and all”
“Yet lately I’ve been miles away, babe”
She said, “I wish there was something I could do
When you get like this, I’m powerless to help you”
And a cautious smile forced on her face
He said, “I’m grateful I have your ear
I’m grateful I have you here
And love, your love is shapeless
It can stir awake the moon
And fill the canyons and the craters and all
And love, your love is shapeless
It can stir awake the moon
And fill the canyons and the craters and all”
