Empire Of Delight |
| Memory extends its empire |
| Holds the frame but blurs the line |
| Some other time invades the sense |
| A moment caught and lost, second sight |
| Suddenly I feel you near me |
| Worlds away and close as this |
| One stolen kiss upon my lips |
| And the moment slips away in mid-flight |
| So many years ago, and now it’s hard |
| To recall just what you meant to me |
| Still I wait, I’m patient |
| For the memory comes to me eventually |
| Here you are, and though you may soon be gone |
| Somehow the song still burns as bright |
| I felt it happen here tonight — |
| Here, in the empire of delight |
| Dream and ghost the world around me |
| You seem as real as ever you were… |
| But in a blur your breath on my cheek |
| Has gone and the evening come into night |
| So many years ago, and now it’s hard |
| To recall quite what you meant to me |
| Still I wait, impatient |
| Though the memory comes to me eventually |
| Here I am, forever caught up in this mystery |
| And then |
| That moment when the fire ignites — |
| I felt it happen here tonight |
| Here, in the empire of delight |
