Always teasing and promising, never handing anything over
Oh to sleep in your sweet embrace for just one night
But you plunge me into endless hours of frightful thought
You dream all day of sweeter things
And wait to entangle my mind in songs of no consequence
I'd break ties with you but my tied eyes know no other lover
As I convince myself that this night I'll take what your offering
Temptress, Oh temptress
You have fought the sandman and won
Now if only you'd return to me that which I desire
A single night of silence, held deeply in your embrace
