Music & lyrics by Mike Holober

lyrics

I read the book of sighs
Chapter one your eyes

I put a feather in and closed the book up tight
it was all that I could handle for one night

I read the part on lips
part, wet, breath, and then kiss

I put the feather in and closed the covers tight
it was too much to endure for just one night

The book of sighs
of lows and highs
an inside look
a thinking book
a page of hope
on how to cope
a place of dreams
of plots and themes
of loving lies
and broken ties
of how we met
of no regret
of joy and yet...

There were other books to read
the book of hope, the one on need
and though I had the book of you
I never got to chapter two

I read the book of sighs
Chapter one your eyes

I put a feather in and closed the book up tight
it was all that I could handle for one night
