Softly, Yes…

[Verse 1] Softly Say yes In the dark (breathe) My quiet pressed to your throat My gasp Caught on your shoulder My quiver Trembling into your name [Chorus] My defiance Is laying down Is giving in Is staying My undoing In your hands In your mouth In this bed Softly Yes Softly Yes Again [Verse 2] My flame Small Then sudden My everything Spilled on your chest My remembering Fingertips mapping My devotion Knees on the floor of your breath [Bridge] With bodies With sweat With salt on our lips And warmth in the hollow between us With softness With patience With every rough edge turned tender We answer [Chorus]
