Love Becomes A Savage

(The Lilac Time – Stephen Duffy)

The light dissolves the darkness

For sleepy she

The day unwraps the night ties

And we can see

The sunbeam blinds the moonbeam

And morning disagrees

And with panic before dreamtime

Overcome.

Your body lies before me

Goose pimplean

That shivers to my fingers

As I touch

The hairs below your stomach

And slowly inbetween

Oh how slowly can I stay here?

And never yet too much.

And if you get married

You'll find out that it's true

Love becomes a savage

Who's going to savage you

I want a farm of kisses

On your lips

Planted with best wishes

A mouthful of sips

I know every crevice

And I know every kiss

And what tastes have been before me

And which ones you will miss.

And if you get married

You'll find out that it's true

Love becomes a savage

Who's going to savage you

And if you get married

You'll find out that it's true

Love becomes a savage

Who's going to savage you
