So Close

What would you do if you were free?
There was a time you scorned uncertainty
Sable and ermine, white gloves and lace
The scar across your nose, your timeless face
The sleepy gaze of your green eyes that fades to black
The gentle rain, the quiet night, the scent of French lilac

Please stay the same, I'll take the blame
I've never known a love I thought deserved the name
But, oh, you came so close, so close

You reach for me then pull away
You make believe my touch is all you crave
Did I hear you loved me or simply sighs?
Your breath in mine has left me mesmerized
Your warmth against my leg, your nails across my throat
I long to see your ecstacy reflect the dawn's first glow

Please stay the same, I'll take the blame
I've never known a love I thought deserved the name
But, oh, you came so close, so close

Did I disturb your revery?
You've never lost that air of mystery
Languid and luscious, no long goodbyes
I slide my hand from yours, no pointless lies
I can't speak my heart, you'd never understand
Promises are never more than castles made of sand

Please stay the same, I'll take the blame
I've never known a love I thought deserved the name
But, oh, you came so close, so close
