You shake and cry when pleasure is intense;
you shake and cry for what? I thought I knew.
It must be something deeper than I sense
when I’m a million miles away from you.
You shake and cry behind the thinnest veil;
you shake and cry and tear the veil away,
my mind absorbing every small detail
in hopes to hold forgetfulness at bay.
I hear you in the distance, like a storm.
I see you on a page within a book.
I smell you like the rain when it is warm.
I taste you like the fish can taste the hook.
I break the solemn silence with a sigh,
unsure what ever made you shake and cry.

You shake and cry when pleasure is intense
You shake and cry for what? I thought I knew
It must be something deeper than I sense
When I’m a million miles away from you
You shake and cry behind the thinnest veil
You shake and cry and tear the veil away
My mind absorbing every small detail
In hopes to hold forgetfulness at bay
I hear you in the distance, like a storm
I see you on a page within a book
I smell you like the rain when it is warm
I taste you like the fish can taste the hook
And then I break the silence with a sigh
Unsure what made my lover shake and cry
