Song language: English
To My Valentine |
from far away I’m coveting your white violet skin |
and missing the fall of your hair |
worlds away I’m courting your everything |
and giving you all that i dare |
i long to stay but the road has my number |
still i don’t have to miss you for long |
little did I know, all these new thoughts of home |
come Tuesday or Wednesday I’m gone |
never had such Valentines as these on my mind |
all the faces i’ve seen, the places i’ve been |
they don’t stack up, even at the same time |
to you and your white violet skin |
how can one claim perfect love, perfect trust |
and not know the wonders I know? |
dreams are all well and good, but mine live and breathe |
who knew? |
you came true, i suppose. |
if wishing on stars ever falls out of fashion |
we’ll move to the Pleiades with no backward glance |
maybe between worlds and blackness |
I’ll get up the nerve |
to finally ask you to dance |
there’ll be space for you always in my harmony |
though i never knew this before. |
every note, «i love you,» no matter the chord |
that’s all any love song is for |
the wild foxes danced when you laughed in your cradle |
the magpies fell silent when you learned to sing |
Imagine my luck, to be part of your fable |
where you hold my heart like the fruit in your hand |
the mockingbird sang when I lay in my cradle |
the pipers all played when I rose up to stand |
I’ll walk all the roads 'til I’m no longer able |
and treasure your heart like the song in my hand. |
just to say i love you in well-hidden ways |
that’s all any song says, each note when it’s played |
this one’s too honest, but you’re smiling, i pray. |
i am wide open, only a little afraid. |
from far away I’m coveting your white violet skin |
and missing the fall of your hair |
with just a laugh you rearranged the world as it is |
spoke your heart, gave me leave to care |
i will ever long to stay but the road has my number |
still i won’t have to miss you for long |
little did I know, all these new thoughts of home |
to tether me when I am gone |
never had such Valentines as these on my mind |
all the faces i’ve seen, the places i’ve been |
they’ll never stack up, even at the same time |
to you and your white violet skin |
