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
