How can I describe it, my friend?
How can I ever put it into words, my friend?
The man who came to my bed,
and the bliss he gave just with his gaze...
How can I describe it, my friend?
The man who came to my bed,
and the bliss he gave just with his gaze...
He pressed his cheek close against mine,
and ran his fingers through my dark hair.
He pressed his cheek close against mine,
and ran his fingers through my dark hair.
He blended his lips with mine,
He blended his lips with mine,
and the way he gathered the sweet nectar of pleasure
and poured it out for me...
How can I describe it, my friend?
The man who came to my bed,
and the bliss he gave just with his gaze...
How can I describe it, my friend?
He left marks with his teeth and nails,
and spun me around like a top, enjoying it all.
He left marks with his teeth and nails,
and spun me around like a top, enjoying it all.
He set my imagination free to wander,
He set my imagination free to wander,
and in this heart where true love whispers,
the intoxicating pleasure that took over...
How can I describe it, my friend?
The man who came to my bed,
and the bliss he gave just with his gaze...
How can I describe it, my friend?
He held me close, body entwined with body,
wrapping around me like two serpents locked together.
He held me close, body entwined with body,
wrapping around me like two serpents locked together.
He showered the rain of love all night long,
He showered the rain of love all night long,
and in the rare, wondrous sweetness of our union,
the sheer joy that filled my heart and soul...
How can I describe it, my friend?
The man who came to my bed,
and the bliss he gave just with his gaze...
How can I describe it, my friend?
