For thou, my lady
define womanhood
Assertive, while considerate
delicate, and yet
thou seem so strong

Spring thy blessedness on me
and I shall be thy humble knight
to carry thee across the night
I shall cross thy river
swim in thy passion
sweep thee off the forsaken shadow of darkness
into a real - fantasy

A land, in which thou shall be queen
thou shall be an angel -
a source of light
that shines the path to happiness
I shall be thy journey
thy feet, thy wings
I shall make thee fierce with delight
Thou shall sparkle like tomorrow's hope
intensifying the flames of love
that we set fire to
A moment in thy arms will last
as seven years in heaven

To thee, I will submit my soul
and even for the brief of moments,
even that it lasts not long
in that instant, we shall be reborn
For that brief time on earth
and ever since, inside our depths
we shall be forever blessed
Thou shall be mine world
and I, shall be thy truth.
