performance you made my advances easy by wanting them so much we were both so simply in need of another's explorative touch. Our consent a rumpled bed stage left, in a duet of loves neglect. We spent our nights together understudying the role of lovers practicing and perfecting our parts. But those undressed rehearsals never meant a commitment in spite of our hearts. I saw you on the hilltop buffeted by the wind I called, but you were distant. A dance of liberation a rhythm ancient and familiar. The pull of the moon on the sea. Your confidence once comprised by the betrayal of your own voice to beauty ill defined, and unattainable. Now you are owning this dance letting expression out freely orchestrating your moves to lift your mood and heal the wounds. page 2 (song lyrics) Performance page 2 We spent our nights together like we would never part. But those tender nights did not mean a commitment in spite of our hearts. I saw you on the hilltop trashing us to the rocks. Now you're back for the pieces I gathered on lonely walks. The few I set in place tell a tale of deceit and loss. They were the masks we'd worn you cast to the rocks.
