(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
3
His warm arms all around me?
4
How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
5
To a place where it longs to be?
6
All of your history has little to do with your face
7
You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space
8
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose
9
From the bouquet in our hotel
10
And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose
11
On the pillow where it fell
12
I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care
13
To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there
14
The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
15
Like a sweet breeze on a field
16
Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you
17
When you caused me to yield
18
We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
19
Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone
20
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams
21
I don't want to hear
22
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
23
From a lifetime of cares
24
Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
25
Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn
26
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder
27
How they could belong to me
28
And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down
29
To a place where it longs to be
