The Sexuality Of Bereavement Lyrics
In soothe I lend a gracious ear
Your sobbing, somehow sexual
Come to my bosom. The help I bring
Is all my pleasure you lonely, dear thing
Oh, cruel love, when held by you
My sanity does fly
You lie there mourning with looks of desire
'T is beauty when you cry
Drink my grievingg love
Desire and wine go well
Sleep, I'll watch over you
Relief? Time will tell
Secrecy fosters passion
You stay untouched
I know you are alone
With peace I care much
Your sobbing, somehow sexual
Come to my bosom. The help I bring
Is all my pleasure you lonely, dear thing
My sanity does fly
'T is beauty when you cry
Desire and wine go well
Sleep, I'll watch over you
Relief? Time will tell
You stay untouched
I know you are alone
With peace I care much

This song is about me - a person who comforts his best friend who lost her husband, She seeks solace, which he provides. He has a crush on her. Fueled with wine, she pours her heart out. They reach a level of intimacy, cudling togehter, which comforts her, but arouses him. He will not speak out his true feelings, but savour the oppotunity the moment provides. His love for her never confessed, her trust in him never abused.
[Edit: grammar]
So he's comforting this woman. it sounds as though she is grieving for her (probably deceased) lover. I wonder who killed him!
for some reason, reading the lyrics, all I can think of is that movie Cemetary Man.
