I'd much rather that we shared a smile
cloudy on the Moon at night
than some scorching bright unwavering light
That makes it too dark in the shadows
Well I would rather that we let dusk fall
that leaves us feeling for flesh
than finger gold flecks caught in the mesh
That distract me from what's in your clothes
I'd rather watch the sunrise in bed;
I'd rather feel your eyes on my head -
I'd rather dream of the smiles that we shared
while you'd have a stream whatever we dared
Make it too dark in the shadows
Distract me with what's in your clothes
Make it too dark in the shadows
Oh hold me like nobody knows
(instrumental)
So spare me the glare of the Sun on what's mine
Rather I'd share your Moon and sweet shine
Spare me the glare of the Sun and what's mine
I'd rather share the Moon and your time
(Chorus - "...your hands...")
I'd much rather make love in the light
and study our darkness by night
than worry about the things that we say
And the people who've twisted our souls
and the people who've twisted their souls
(Chorus - "...your kiss...")
And the people who've twisted our souls
don't make it too dark in our shadows
or distract me from what's in your clothes
So hold me like nobody knows -
hold me like nobody knows
(Chorus - "...your lips...")
and I'd much rather we smiled in the shade
while the clouds on the Moon parade
