Stevie Taite - Longing A Banished Word! lyrics

If I could cast a magic spell To cover the deceit Protecting kin from any Sin Then freely we could meet Saved from hurt, the ones we love A parallel we'd find Where longing was a banished word As nobody would mind But no such trick exists So surreptitiously we tread Need outweighing guilty thoughts no mention of it said More sensible would be To pinch the flame that burns within Yet the sorrow that this idea brings Extinguishes the sin How cruel it is to have to choose Each path carved through the soul But one path shatters many lives The other leaves them whole.
