Maid of the Seas
I wanted to take your face in my hands and kiss you on the mouth
At the funeral
There was a quake in the place where love demands to be noticed and found out
Making you beautiful
I turned myself away from you in shame
Wanting these sensations to go back from where they came
When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze
She said sex is the opposite of death
It's alright child it's natural it's wild
It's just the life force and you can use it
You won't abuse it Enjoy yourself she said
Take my husband to bed
I couldn't keep my mind on the preacher standing by the casket
Where she lay
I couldn't weep entwined like some creature with a wish and I ask it
Please go away
Shock and grief follow death
And I feel guilty that I still draw breath
When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze
She said sex is the opposite of death
It's the rule it's natural stay cool
It's just the life force you gotta love it
You're not above it Enjoy yourself she said
Take my husband to bed
