Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
