Tonight, we lie beneath a sky dressed in black silk,
the rain sings on the leaves,
the night breathes slow,
and you are the only dream I know.
Raindrops kiss the garden floor
The scent of rain drifts through the door
Green leaves glisten in the light
Of this black silk-painted night
Windows hum with gentle streams
The air is heavy with the perfume of wet leaves
The trees lean in, the flowers glow
In silver mist that softly flows
Beneath the black silk sky,
the rain and trees all softly breathe
The night composes sweet and shy,
a love song just for you and me
Candles flicker, curtains sway
The world outside just drifts away
Your hand in mine, your breath so near
Only the rain, only you here
Beneath the black silk sky,
the rain and trees all softly breathe
The night composes sweet and shy,
a love song just for you and me
