(Of All I) Give Away

I hear your footsteps calling
my name outside this room --
somewhere in the broken night,
beneath all of its gloom.

I creep beyond the doorstep,
one footfall in the black...
I feel your body calling me
and now I can't turn back.

I sense a certain presence,
that one you've always made --
did you bring it here tonight
to haunt me in the shade?

You say you're but a simple man --
made of flesh and bone,
but something in your voice tonight
has drawn me out alone...

Treading past a forest,
full of soft-soaked sound...
you led me to a city
where there was no-one around...

And in the night, you kissed me,
though love, the kiss did lack;
and in the dark, you stole from me
what I could not get back.

Later in bed, I drifted,
lying at your side --
wrapped beneath a loving coat
of lonely tears I cried.

Did you ever notice,
you're not all that you seem?
You're just a simple nightmare
shaped from the clay of dream.

But by the morning's last kiss,
you told me at the door --
you'd return to see me someday...
someday nevermore.

Then my leaden feet will travel
back to a home I knew,
but my heart will not be with them --
I gave my heart to you.
