Alabaster - Oh Susanna

Met on the shore on a rainy dawn in late November

'Speak not a word,' was what you wrote to me

Shoes soaked in sand and a heavy coat around your shoulder

Bird in a hand was what you gave to me

You stood so strong and the waves beyond were rollin' over

Pullin' me close like the moon pulls on the sea

I wanna ride on a road that turns a thousand corners --

Two beams of light, one for you and me

House in the hills and inside the sound of nervous laughter

A bed of white unmade by you and me

Your body of stone that I touch until it turns to water

Was revealed to me

I long to touch your tender skin of alabaster --

Shoulders as white as the peaks beyond the sea

Arms in your arms and soon the room is spinning faster

Eyes in your eyes are the only thing I see

Love you so much so the only thing that you’ll remember

Is what it’s like to be in love with me
