Lyrics
HARLEQUIN
(Brian Ralston)
Moping around
Got my feet stuck to ground
Yet again
Breathlessly useless
Going blind deaf and toothless
Can’t win
Standing alone on a cliff top
Close to the ledge
Picking myself up with bootstraps
Frayed at the edge
In candy-striped pants
With a sensual dance
You arrive
Feelings long dormant
Regroup and reform
And revive
Mares’ tails retreat at a pace
That I’ve not seen before
Spectrums of light hit my eyes
And I’m groping for more
Twisting and turnings
Perceptions are burning
In deep
Wriggling and writhing
My heart in top drive
Dare not sleep
I’m clutching at bright dreams
That I yielded times long ago
Holding myself back
Must stay calm
Soak up the show
Seething with desire
Harlequin inspired
Taking up chances
Exchanging veiled glances
Connect,
Increasing my dose
As i start to move close
Solo trek
Stripping myself clear
Of baggage
I’ve borne for an age
Tasting your lips for the first time
Now centre stage
Senses now on fire
Harlequin inspired
