These were the nights in winter's end, and all the world
was covered over with the breath of long remembered laughter, you danced
oh, how you danced
and seemed as though unto me a light wave on the floor
once known, oh perfect heart, and then forever more.
oh, how you danced
you danced as though the world would sometime soon come to an end
and in your arms i wilted with my head close to your heart
so on you went, as though had always been before,
once known, oh perfect heart, and then forever more.
do you remember kindly frosted afternoons and lazy circles
brilliant grey eclipses danced into a great parabola
and that i was yours, yours, and mine, all in a great procession
times not lost to me were coming from occasion
oh, how you danced
once known, oh perfect heart, and then forever more.
i to you and your memory implore
know me as you knew me once before
once known, oh perfect heart, and then forever more.
