Current song lyrics
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) <br /><br />How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger <br />His warm arms all around me? <br />How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down <br />To a place where it longs to be? <br />All of your history has little to do with your face <br />You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space <br /><br />You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose <br />From the bouquet in our hotel <br />And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose <br />On the pillow where it fell <br />I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care <br />To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there <br /><br />The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by <br />Like a sweet breeze on a field <br />Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you <br />When you caused me to yield <br />We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond <br />Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone <br /><br />Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams <br />I don't want to hear <br />Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other <br />From a lifetime of cares <br />Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned <br />Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn <br /><br />Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder <br />How they could belong to me <br />And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down <br />To a place where it longs to be <br /><br />© 1972 Chandos Music (ASCAP)
