lyrics

Follow, feet. Do not flee the scene. Shed the lead and lightly tread. Heel, toe, to the shadows. Tip-toe home. Make haste by city light. Dodge passersby. Take flight to the shelter of your throne, in your kingdom all alone; tucked off in the countryside where your weary feet reside, content to be the lords upon the loam they call their court, their swarth. Though slightly cold, these limbs are bold. Pardon me, if I'm too forward. I know your legs were ill-prepared for this confession, but I lack sober discretion, so listen; even though you wear it well, that ring on your finger is a sin, for false pretenses were the grounds upon which it was given to you. You and I were made in match. We are kindred souls. We're meant to be. I couldn't hold my breath; couldn't bite my tongue anymore. A hand's romance. Fingers feel their way until they lovingly embrace their mates and lay softly interlaced. Star-crossed lover adorned, these hands are crowns of thorns. What misery they'll reap. With famine they will seed the soil. But hark! What light on yonder window breaks? 'Tis but the sun. And it comes to beckon me away. Parting is such sweet sorrow. I won't forget the way I felt when we first met. I wish I'd said it first. Please don't do this. I'll second guess the words I said to him. On bended knee, he asked of me my hand and I gave it. I'll be honest that when we kiss, I pretend it's your lips. Wherefore art thou? How could I vow myself to someone else? This suitor doesn't suit her. He hides behind his countenance. It's such a shame this lovely dame is haltered to the altar.
