Ten: The torch

One precious moment, one measure of proofIs all I need to make me run to youA flash of light beyond a guide sign blueIn those eyes no disguise could hide the truthYou are almost human when you show how you feelBut things you say can cloak what love revealsI need the woman that your words concealFor tonight only flesh and blood is realLady, turn your light onMake me know that you are thereI can t wait any more, we could fly if you dareSo turn your light on, for I am waiting for youLet the woman inside you pull me throughTo carry the torchMake love til daybreak and I can t keep a wayAs no two nights are ever quite the sameFor when I think that all my strength is drainedThen I crawl on my knees to you againAs daylight brakes across the morning skyShe saved a dance to greet the dawning lightI realize that as I watch her flowThere are things only I will ever knowOne precious moment, one measure of proofIs all I need to make me run to youA flash of light beyond a guide sign blueIn those eyes no disguise could hide the truthYou are almost human when you show how you feelBut things you say can cloak what love revealsI need the woman that your words concealFor tonight only flesh and blood is realLady, turn your light onMake me know that you are thereI can t wait any more, we could fly if you dareSo turn your light on, for I am waiting for youLet the woman inside you pull me throughTo carry the torchMake love til daybreak and I can t keep a wayAs no two nights are ever quite the sameFor when I think that all my strength is drainedThen I crawl on my knees to you againAs daylight brakes across the morning skyShe saved a dance to greet the dawning lightI realize that as I watch her flowThere are things only I will ever know
