Icarus

    Cradled by Love

    2004

    As you lie by my side
    With your head on my chest
    Our legs intertwined
    My hand on your breast
    The touch of your fingers
    The smile on your face
    The world is at peace
    Everything's in its place

    As the candlelight flickers
    Our senses caressed
    The music enfolds us
    Safe snug in our nest
    The cares of the world
    Fade away without trace
    We are cradled by love
    In the soft arms of grace
