The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And
the moon and stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies
My love,
to the dark
and the empty skies
The first time
ever
I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my head
Like the trembling heart
of a captive bird
That was there at my command
My love,
that was there at my command
The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart be close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And
last till the end of time
