[Erik Satie: "Gymnopédie #1"]
Moonlight  now   on Malibu
The winter night   the few stars
Far away  millions  of miles
The sea  going on  and on
Forever  around  the earth
Far  and  far  as your lips  are near
Filled  with the same light  as your eyes
Darling  darling  darling
The future  is long gone by
And the past  will never happen
We have  only this
Our one forever
So small  so infinite
So brief  so vast
Immortal  as our hands that touch
Deathless  as the firelit wine we drink
Almighty  as this single kiss
That has no beginning
That will never
Never
End
