Just to keep my sadness at bay
And to light up my heart
I need so much more, I'm certain
Than just this piano and a song
I need to release into the luminous night
The name that suffocates me from within my chest
And burns my mouth
I need to release it into the four winds
So that I can then follow it wherever it goes
Or then whisper like this, nice and softly
Enveloping with affection
Your name, my love
For its entirety is poetry
It runs through my chest like a river
It returns joy to my eyes
It leaves a tingle in my heart
For its entirety is a melody
For its entirety is perfection
In light, it is darkness
I need to say it slowly
I need to spell it letter by letter
Or instead drink it up like a wine
That gives the strength to carry on
When one's strength is waning
I need to release it into the four winds
So that I can then follow it wherever it goes
Or then whisper like this, nice and softly
Enveloping with affection
Your name, my love
For its entirety is a melody
For its entirety is perfection
In light, it is darkness
I need to release it into the four winds
So that I can then follow it wherever it goes
Or then whisper like this, nice and softly
Enveloping with affection
Your name, my love
