lyrics

THE JOURNEY
(1989)
There was a time, love
When just to touch your hand
Was like the final act of love
And still I wanted more

There was another time
That first bewildered kiss
Too new and strange to taste of love
And still I wanted more

Today, for a time
Your breasts, bodywarm, filled my hands
And we trembled, trembled
O love, still I’m wanting more

Perhaps there’ll come a time
When we rest, replete and full
What then of ever craving love
Of always wanting more?

Then -
I’ll touch your hand
And then -
Start the journey once again
