Eric Maust - Golden Years

With her there and all the world warm
Her thoughts widened to a smile
Wider than the coastline she owned
Oh the way she sat
And looked into my eyes a while
She said my life has always longed for this
Moments that make the bitter ones less
Like all the barren times I felt
That I was the last girl left

Then I fell into you
And all the work that I put in
Went void as the knife slipped through
I never thought it'd cut so deep
That love could made my heart turn
To question life's own currency

Her legs made such perfect lines
As she drew them to her chest
Painting the crescent moon with her silhouette
As the sun set
Laughter poured from her breast
This ain't perfect but it's close to it
So let's make this here a covenant
That every kiss from now to then
Will be the light to guide us home again

Have you felt it too?
That landing on this paradise
Is more than luck that's overdue
This is more like robbery than love
Like we're stealing from our mothers' graves
Golden years that they never knew

Can you taste the salted sea
Its rhythm pounding long
Making drunken fools of you and me
Merlot in heaven's sky
You, my love, are its holy song
We both feel like gods today
Like immortal bliss is in this bay
Till we're pricked earthly thorned waste
Let's numb our senses in the crash of waves
