Ease Your Storm

I know this might be the last time
we are alone like this
But I have faith in your line.
We will return to cross the Styx

So baby don't be that way,
bring your pulse back to the norm
Let this happen another day, darlin'
ease your storm

Everything you said to me,
in not so many words
They remain in memory,
like every promise one man ever heard

So baby don't be that way,
I beat the devil and my heart is warm
Will there ever be a better day
for you to ease my storm?

Make my waters calm,
ease my rising tide
Sound a joyous psalm,
in victory I take you as my bride

If you and I are mortal, not distorted chortles
echoing through portals from the playpens of the gods themselves,
then it's time to rock bells,
knock sandals, tip the skiff over,
put the sword in the sheath. But composure's
lost, hot blooded and breathing.
There's something underwater in chains yet seething.
Grieving soon: anybody by the shoreline.
Our time slips like sand only more fine.
So: busyness. Let us get it on
ever and anon until the storm's gone.

Baby don't be that way,
bring my pulse back to norm
Let me gaze at you in your naked form,
help me ease my storm
