You Say to Me, You Never Have to Ask
Pretend we are all alone now.
No one else is listening in.
Lay back in my arms.
The first time I saw you
I wanted to hold you.
I wanted to kiss you.
Can I kiss you now?
You say to me,
"You never have to ask."
Like the sun shining down on a frozen lake
to me, say it again.
And I have known witches.
I have felt sorcery in my veins.
But your lips are whispering spells
and your fingers are magical wands.
And I have burned bridges.
I have stranded myself from the shore
and found what I held onto
keeping me afloat
wasn't worth holding onto no more.
You say to me
"You never have to ask."
Like the winds of a thousand years
on a mountain's face, say it again.
I waited for you, my love,
on the path of one hundred days.
I prepared to receive you.
I prepared to believe my eyes.
The road may be long, my love.
There will be times when we can't find our way.
Would you like to come with me?
You say to me
"You never have to ask."
Like the shackles cut clean from the throat of a slave
to me, say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Oh, say it again!
