This First Dawn

happy new year baby

though you’re no baby of mine

everyone’s gone home now 

and if we’ll ever have it now’s our time

a little secret in a little light

forbidden breath at the end of the night

we won’t tell though we’ve done no wrong

it’s between you and me and this first dawn

it’s not a game of hide & seek anymore

you’ve found the place I conceal my heart

count down from ten and here you are

close as shiver and desire

a little secret…

you say ‘close your eyes and reach out your hand’

you stand beyond my touch

statue in the shadows and your gown half-off

it was all you said you’d give but it was so much

a little secret…

happy new year baby

it’s getting cold outside my door

it was nice to see you baby

now you’re my drug and I only want a little more
