Honeymooners

Darling I am shaking
And my limbs are made of fire
And though all heaven is revealed
You are my one desire
I cannot hold my thoughts
There is poison in my head
I simply turned to look
And all at once the world is dead

Oh lover still your tongue
You're the king of all you see
The unmade bed you lie upon
This strange likeness of me
My body be your focus
Your labour be my joy
For everything's decided
In the twinkle of an eye

Darling I am a sailor
And I chart the southern lands
I calm the ocean with my song
And I rouse her with my hands
I'll build for you a craft
Out of my jealousies
We'll raise the sail and let it coast
Into eternity

Lover you are weary
Come and rest between my thighs
The hungry dogs of reason
They have filled you full of lies
I'll give to you my army
And my city and my throne
I'll give the flower of my love
To you and you alone
