An album about marriage would be incomplete and just plain wrong without a really sexy, romantic song.  I don’t know if this song is either of those things, but that’s what I was aiming for.


Slow down and breathe

Let your arms become the rising tide

Slowly enveloping me

Slow down and sigh

My arms become your sanctuary

shutting out the city’s cry


when we dance... 


Slow down and smile

let your heart see things that  eyes will miss

put your troubled mind to rest for a while

Slow down and sing

Unwrap the gift of another day

which another night alone can bring


when we dance...  


Slow down and dance

Our bodies are a distant star

We float as one in a sea of night.


Not space - not time

Nothing will come between us

Not fear -  not pride

Nothing will come between us

Not breath - not sin

Nothing will come between us

Not cloth - not skin

Nothing will come between us


Ours is the chocolate that lingers on your lips

the silk and satin that grace your hips

Ours is the music of the universe

The heavens beat the pulse and drown the curse

Ours is the thunder and lightning and rain   

A marriage of passion; a crime of champagne

Ours is the blood and the brain and the sweat

A sacred promise that we’ll never, no never forget
