Pearls And Wine

She's just that girl that I have painted
On a canvas made of feathers
I thrust her colors to the wind
With the hope Cupid will catch her
She'll take the stage, risen from the page
Of a faith that I've untethered
She's just the girl I've waited for
Every stroke, every color

You make me dream
You make me sigh
With the hottest breath
From depths inside
You make me yearn
Fantasize
You make me covet
Pearls and wine

She glided into this life
Like chocolate drips down cherries
The sensation of the soaring love
Draped across a February
When I see her, I kneel before her
Phantom worship is what I carry
I'd hold her hand through her darkest land
Like the soil clings to the prairie

There's no beauty
Without your eyes
They hold the ocean
They hold the tide
Such a hunger
So divine
You make me lust
Pearls and wine

Your arrow
Buried in my mind
You leave the taste, the touch
Of pearls and wine
