The Dark Lady

The Dark Lady

Drape your velvet skirts around me
Silent lady of the night
Envelope me in sultry blackness
Help me blot out all the light
Draw your hands across my face
And take my heart, my dear, I'll give it
Pull me closer to your breast
You are my dream, I want to live it
Part your voluptuous crimson lips
That stand bloody in the moon's sweet face
Bring your star bright eyes to mine
Pull me to your hot embrace
Snow white flesh of alabaster
Is the hand that in mine slips
Hand I desire and all that's with it
Body, face and ruby lips
Draw your curtain tight around me
And take me beyond the world I know
Spread the cloth of night about me
Hide the sun, no one will know
Spark the stars within my soul
Press your flesh against my heart
Tell me all I wish to hear
Find my dead pulse and bid it start
Drape your velvet skirts around me
Silent lady of the night
Envelope me in sultry blackness
Help me blot out all the light
