Face Off
Your face is ever before me
like a painting etched in sky
as the dusk of dawn approaches
still seeking the reasons why
I would set upon your head a crown
before you would I bow
with affection would I clothe you
if knew I only how
Every sight of you is pleasure
your voice to me a song
every feeling within that's stored up
to be empty of it wrong
Never have eyes seen so much
stored in a well of man
fought have I with resistance
It's course for me unplanned
The mountains into the valley slide
the path of which you spake
to empty there every river
like the fig in wind does shake
My ear has heard its calling
like angels in the wind
the words of a heart falling
to reason its amend
Every note has played its key
upon us did aria descend
the chords of exultation
a song can none pretend
Every key has its own note
every scale its own cry
every sound of truth you hear
will every lie defy
You are my beloved one
none can you replace
in every place I seek you
to have my eyes upon your face
