The body breaks and the body is fine

And i am open to yours and i am open to mine

The body acks and that ack take it's time

But you'll get over yours and i will get over mine

And the sun will shine and the moon will rise

The body calls, ya the body a calls out

It wispers at first but it ends with a shout

The body burns ya the body a burns strong

Till mine is with yours and mine will burn on

My flesh sings out it sings come put me out

The body sways like the wind on a swing

A bridge through a hoop or a lake through a ring

the body stays and then the body moves on

and i'd really rather not dwell on when yours willl be gone

but within the dark there is a shine

one tiny spark

Thats yours and mine

The Grandest Almond
