I twirl my cane in syncopated rhythm with the wind
I feel a ravenous might one cold and blustery eve
Resolution in the darkness, I find out all I want to know
By just holding your hand and feeling your warmth
A cabin of doomed fortune, revelation always of harsh opprobrium
All those antiquarian feelings set aside, buried in the snow
Buried deep in the blizzard that rages on outside the French window
My focus is on you, sitting on the couch
The room becomes vapid by comparison to your radiance
Prolific painted faces
Hanging on every wall; the fire burns without dismissal when someone falls
Plots to destroy what we have - all in vain
I laugh at their impotent desire to intercede
When will they learn? There just is nothing to gain from ineffectual lust
Once I am yours, all other temptations quickly fade
Diluted by their absence of importance, dominated by the love I feel within
A powerful explosion ignites on stage, I know this emotion:
Feel the turbulent wind that withdraws my lips, I regret the mellow-hearted
All along backstage I cannot wait to feel your eyes on me, to realize again what I am
Your image is permanently imprinted on my mind, a powerful brand I wear with pleasure
Just yesterday I took the time to meditate alone
I’ve been lost in the jaded struggle of a hellweek
Abandoned time from realizing all my emotions, and what I feel by knowing I have you
A perfect ally you are;
I am a mouse caught in your trap
And I don’t want to leave
Our minds entangled
Our hearts enraptured
My head’s above the rest just at the thought of seeing you again
Your name levitates me to cloud nine
How many dancing Christies can there be on stage at once?
I only want one: believe this in me, the dame of the name
When I sleep at night, I don’t get much rest
I’m thinking about you
You know who I am?
I’m Naveed; everything connected
Emotion grips me, a fertile longing to exact a gentle caress
Of your lips - a tender moonlight kiss
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
Let’s take our time and make our journey last
Living for those thousand miles
Until the end when I turn around in the snow
And reveal unto you all I have to show
