Weightless In The Wind
Floating skyward without care,
Waving weightless in the wind,
Breathless wonders fill the air.
Journey onward who knows where,
Slowly, shyly, touch and blend,
Floating skyward without care.
Rain reveals dirt spores with flare,
Leaping dust flies in the wind,
Breathless wonders fill the air.
Fresh, the scents of beauty rare,
Wakes the senses like a trend,
Floating skyward without care.
Nature's way for her to share.
Warming touches like a friend,
Breathless wonders fill the air.
Smallest specks of dust so fair,
Waving weightless in the wind.
Floating skyward without care,
Breathless wonders fill the air.
Father I ask, "Should such a passion be rumored as a sin?"
"Should I emancipate my habit only from dusk till dark?"
angry eyes smile from Sisters' jealous half grin
To say your wife must not ever know where you've been
when you've enthralled and tasted my most decadent parts
Father I ask, "Should such a passion be rumored as a sin?"
From confession booth to California King rationings
to stolen kisses in the park, to mattresses shaped like hearts
angry eyes smile from Sisters' jealous half grin
"How could your wife not smell the carnal lust on your skin?"
an encore we just finished, that she wants to start
Father I ask, "Should such a passion be rumored as a sin?"
"How much longer can we pretend to be (kissing kin)?"
"Do we not make symphonies reminiscent of the finest Mozart?"
angry eyes smile from Sisters' jealous half grin
Father, for I have sinned, and will conceal this love within
the scent of God should be enough to keep us apart
Father I ask, "Should such a passion be rumored as a sin?"
angry eyes smile from Sisters' jealous half grin
