[Verse 1] If the wind would let me, I’d drift to your side, Just for a moment, past the names I hide. Not to forsake what I must defend— But to feel your breath, and let mine bend. [Verse 2] I’d dance the steps they say I shouldn’t know, The ones too close, too slow, too low. My tail would flick in teasing time, A rhythm meant for only your design. [Verse 3] I’ve leaned too long on polished grace, But crave the warmth behind your face. I’ve dreamed of resting where you stand— Of being held, not just well-planned. []Chorus 1] But I’m a lady, so they say— With silks that shine and masks that stay. Yet if you asked, I’d step aside, And meet you where the stars reside. [Verse 4] My tail would pulse beside your side, Not bold, but close enough to confide. It’d mimic breath, not voice or vow— Just saying I am yours, somehow. [Verse 5] I’ve heard of kisses stolen in the rain, Of lips that speak without a name. I’d give you one, if none could see— And let it say what you mean to me. [Chorus 2] But I’m a lady, so they claim— With veils and vows and borrowed names. Yet if you asked, I’d lose the hour, And let the wind unlace its power. [Verse 6] I’ve felt the echo of your chest, Beneath my cheek, a place to rest. No armor there, no need to flee— Just quiet strength that shelters me. [Verse 7] My tail would wrap—not to restrain— But just to say, I’d choose you again. A whisper near your wrist, a sign, That even silence can align. [Chorus 3] But I’m a lady, so they write— With rules for love and wrongs for right. Yet if you asked, I’d break the script, And let my heart be loose and slipped. [Verse 8] So if the wind would let me stray, I’d find you past the noble fray. And when the call of duty comes— I’d carry you in every drum. [Bridge] I’d speak in tail and breath and skin, In every place the rules grow thin. And if you held me, just that way— I’d never ask the wind to stay. [Final Chorus] For I’m a lady, so they say— But you have seen me slip away. And if you asked, I’d not pretend— I’d choose you, love, again… again.
