Beneath A Moonless Sky

Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
I stole to your side, tormented by my choice
I couldn't see your face, yet trembled at your voice

And I touched you
And I felt you
And I heard those ravishing refrains
The music of the pulse
The singing in your veins
And I held you
And I touched you
And embraced you
And I felt you
And with every breath and every sigh
I felt no longer scared
I felt no longer shy
At last our feelings bared
Beneath a moonless sky

And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole
Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
A woman and a man, no more and yet no less

And I kissed you
And caressed you
And the world around us fell away
We said things in the dark
We never dared to say
And I caught you
And I kissed you
And I took you
And I begged you
With a need too urgent to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again
Beneath a moonless sky

And when it was done before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky

And I loved you
Yes, I loved you
I'd have followed anywhere you led
I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead
And I loved you
(How I loved you)
And I left you
(And I loved you)
And I had to, both of us knew why
We both knew why
And yet I won't regret
From now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky
And now
How can you talk of now?
For us, there is no now
