Dylan Perez and Samantha Clarke - Four Songs, Op. 13: IV. Nocturne

Close my darling both your eyes,
Let your arms lie still at last
Calm the lake of falsehood lies
And the wind of lust has passed
Waves across these hopeless sands
Fill my heart and end my day
Underneath your moving hands
All my aching flows away
Even the human pyramids
Blaze with such a longing now
Close, my love, your trembling lids
Let the midnight heal your brow
Northward flames Orion's horn
Westward th' Egyptian light
None to watch us, none to warn
But the blind eternal night
