He said, She said

He said - you are so fair, so nice
That my body is yours for free
If you will hold my soul for me
She said - I ain't falling for your lies
I know that every body has it's price
And I know that yours is not for me

And so they stood in the sunlight
Their longing ebbing in the fading light
Their eyes said every word
That their hands did not dare
When he reached out for her mind
He found only her breasts were bare

He said - Would you hold me for long
Would you hold me if I were wrong
She said - I would if I could
But I really don't want to belong
I mean - don't get me wrong
But I'd really rather be owned
For the shape of my body
Than the state of my soul

And so they made love in the light
And left the darkness inside
To be alone with the night
That lay behind their eyes
She said that that was great
He said he was getting late
And they went their separate ways

Untouched by the unsaid things
Their sanity lay on broken wings
That they did not care to heal
What's not said you did not feel

He said sometimes it's better not to fly
She said that's right, let's just let things lie
I prefer to be safe on the ground
To being a bird in flight
It was the first time, they found
That they'd agreed that night

They made up with their tongues
For each song they'd left unsung
Then he said ciao
And she said goodbye
And they left each other
Standing in the light
Knowing in the end
That she was right
That every body has a price
That they'd paid it with their lives.
