Cellos
hundred of cellos
and I will glide
with them
in the moonlight,
pirouetting
in the black swan dance
and kiss her head
and nod to the willows
and bow to the night
and she will grace me
they will grace us
they will grace us
and the lake will grace us
and smile
and the moon will grace us
and the mountains will grace us
and the breeze will grace us
and the sun will gently rise
and its rays will stretch
and spread
and even the willows will lift their heads ever so slightly
and the snow will grow whiter
and the shadows will rise from the mountains
and it will be warm
yes, it will be warm
...the shadows will stay
but the moonlight will be warm
(dance now dance now dance now)
the moonlight will get warmer
hold me
love me
just dance and love me
just love me
but fields of flowers
are so lovely
in the sun
in the bright flooding sunlight
warm and brilliant
and the tall grasses flow and part
and the colours burst
and small drops of dew glisten
and it is all russet and violet and amarant
and green and white
...yes white
and gold and blue and pink, soft pink
primary hues
and see the fireflies
like flowers of the night
o yes, yes flowers of the night
soft little lights
lovely little lights you can snuff with two fingers
o I'm so cold
yes, yes my darling - so very cold
love you
your mouth, lips, are so warm
d'amor si muore
o see how the stars soften the sky
yes, like jewels
let's dance some more
how beautiful
as the moon follows us
see - for us
see, she sashays along to our melody
shimmering into daylight
the Queen of birds.
WARM NIGHT AND DAY
