about

Written originally for the Jimmy The Fish Trio back in 2011 this is a song portrait of a love affair that is not socially acceptable for whatever reason, culture, history...

lyrics

Two Perfect Hours

Two perfect hours
we adorned the grass like playful flowers
Cradled in the arms of Babylon
Stolen comfort
Right or wrong

Two perfect hours
Warm breath beneath my gaping dress
Skin and bone and fears released, confess
stolen comfort
Cursed or blessed

Two perfect hours
Pearly pale against his coffee coloured skin,
Forbidden sweetness
like a gypsy violin
Stolen comfort
No one wins

Two perfect hours
Fading sunlight threw it's patterns on the yard
And for a while it didn't seem so hard
Tasting glory beneath the stars
Tracing stories through our scars
