BEHOLDING YOU


A night of passion started by a single kiss
A journey through a million fantasies
All our doubts are stripped away
As our hearts are allowed to play
Further from the world now we recede

While I'm beholding you
While I'm beholding you
Behold

Our bodies are two vessels surging in the night
Pink and peach awash inside our heads
Sensation seeks release in pleasure
Held back with a timely measure
Leads us to our burning ecstasy

While I'm beholding you
While I'm beholding you
Behold

 

The ecstasy of lovers coming together to form a single passionate flame is a beautiful thing.
Ecstasy the drug is a treacherous toxin that will trick you into burning a hole in your own brain.
The reference in this song is to the former, not the latter.
