In Your Loving Arms

from After the End by Joustene Lorenz

/

about

Springtime in Paris and we’re walking along the Champs Elysees. The gourdon and lilac flowers are blooming and I feel overwhelmed by emotion and the world around me. You weave my life in a purple night embroidered by the stars: please hold me in your loving arms.

lyrics

1.
Southbank in Spring,
Gourdon flowers in bloom,
You bought me Kenyan coffee
And a yellow balloon.

Hold on now,
This beauty overwhelming me,
Hold on now,
Will you take me in your loving arms?

2.
Walk along the Champs-Elysées
With Saint-Saens in my head,
Remember Gustav Flaubert
And the things that he said.

Oh no!
Emotion overwhelming me,
Oh no!
Please take me in your loving arms.

3
Sunset on the river,
Busy people going by,
I want to be your Gaughan nude
For the rest of my life…

Ah no,
This world is overwhelming me,
Hold on now,
Please take me in your loving arms.

BRIDGE
All at once the moon is rising,
Luminescent in my eyes,
And I imagine escape into the hollow space
Between the earth and sky.

Now you weave my life in a purple night
Embroidered by the stars,
Then our senses rise and our souls embrace
As you hold me in your arms.

4.
Southbank in spring,
Lilac flowers in bloom,
This moment floats away from me
Like a yellow balloon.

Oh no!
This love is overwhelming me,
Ah no!
Please hold me in your loving arms,
Your loving arms,
Your loving arms.
