A Cup Full Of Wine

The Love Song 1868-77, Sir Edward Burne-Jones Source, The Met

As the Sun sets,

And the rivers flow

Like red wine under Apollo’s glow

From your warmth’s embrace

My heart begins to pour

Into a Dead Sea

Where I can’t satisfy my soul

I’ve been losing everything I got

Tryin to make you mine

Dwelling on you

Is taking a toll on me

I can feel your heat

On every block on the street

My spirit’s on fire

In the city of Babylon

With no clouds in the sky

Fueled by our passion

Struggles and desires

I can’t shake you off my mind

I’m playing a losing game

Day dreaming in your garden

I gotta find a place

To cool myself down

Next to a peaceful stream

A misty sanctuary

Where I can’t be found
