If Only Tonight We Could Sleep

If only tonight we could sleep

In a bed made of flowers

If only tonight we could fall

In a deathless spell

If only tonight we could slide

Into deep black water

And breathe

And breathe

Then an angel would come

With burning eyes like stars

And bury us deep

In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry

As our faces slipped away

And the rain would cry

Don't let it end
