BELOVED~M. Driver
The late light of the desert made the mountains a silhouette
As curved as a woman's side
As far off as I feel inside
This gravity that used to feel like fear
Pulls me to a new conclusion
The light of you is the weight that keeps me here
I wake up with my soul on fire
I'm swimming in my heart's desire
Not drowning in somebody's wake
Not smiling for somebody's sake
Why don't you just stay here in the sun
My beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved one
I see you blue eyed old and grey
Still up all night until the break of day
You dance me across the kitchen floor
How you love me with those halfway eyes
And when I think there's nothing left
I think of love and all the time it buys
My beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved one
The late light of the desert made the mountains a silhouette
As curved as a woman's side
As far off as I feel inside
The battle was hard fought but nobody won
I'll be your magnetic north...
You'll be my beloved one.
