The sun goes down and slides it's last light into my window,

it burns against the back wall, like a blistering kiss,

when I get this feeling we're so far from what we'd wanted,

I know your mind runs free like mine...far away from this.

Then I feel a flame come out of nowhere

remembering your hands against my skin

to the outside world we'll play our parts, but in our hearts,

we are pirates on the ocean, we are rebels in the wind

And when the sunset turns the sky to rust,

And the gilded hills stretch out in lazy curl,

let's lay our bodies down in the amber dust

and make love like we're the first ones in the world,

like we're the first ones in the world

Sometimes I get scared that my life is just reaction

have I left behind the passion that led me straight to you

but there's no chain can hold me, like that gaze of sweet desire

it's time to tend the fire, we've got no time to lose,

Baby now my heart has grown so hungry,

for the taste of you, as sweet as summer rain,

when this thread that runs between us runs slender, don't surrender

just lay down in my arms again

Chorus

Duty has us in its

grip of steel

but I remember how it used to feel

Chorus 2x

-lyrics and music by Megan Metcalfe

Took such a long time to finish this song...first verse and chorus came so fast, then...nothing. Took two years to finish! Hope you enjoy it...;)
