Atlantis Lyrics

i lie in bed

beside him
and i know him

outside in

i've learned his body's

line and length

and memorized his grin

i've counted

every crease

at the edges

of his eyes

i know his soul's

complete circumference

i know

his lies

i know

his outer qualities

i know

his inner doubt

as i know the skin

underneath his shirt

i know

what he's about

i lie in bed
beside him

and unravel him

like twine

i know his depths his drives

his drawbacks

as he

knows mine

i heard they found

the lost atlantis

off the spanish coast

with a host

of hidden secrets

buried signs and symbols

green and guarded gold

and ghosts

i listen
to his breathing

and familiar

tho' he seems

his sleeping self

has wandered

to the regions of his dreams

while

off the coast of spain

the moorish moonlight beams

and deep

in guarded spanish waters

the green gold

gleams...

i lie in bed beside him

and i ask him

will you go?

he says i swear

i'll never leave you

i say

i know...
