Double Axel (Valerie Suite)

Listen to Double Axel by Richard Charles Stevens (Valerie Suite)

Listen to Valerie by Steve Winwood

Lost in a melody
Found within reverie
Heavenly
Togetherly
And tenderly crowned
.
As she skated the rink
In the blink of an eye
I negated to breathe
Any more than a sigh
The storm clouds perceived were unthinkably mild
Overseen by a child inexplicably wild
As she skated the rink
To the steepest toe pick
I discerned the vaguest whisper of a smile
I discerned the vaguest whisper
I discerned the vaguest whisper
I discerned the vaguest whisper of a smile
As she skated the rink
To the steepest toe pick
I discerned the vaguest whisper of a smile
.
I glanced all about me
In state of confusion
Elated mistaking my favourite illusion
Unless by the farthest stretch of my imagination
She was facing me with every kiss when her lips duly blew them
.
Valerie
Call on me
Call on me
Valerie
Come and see me
I’m the same boy I used to be
.
Lost in a melody
Found within reverie
Heavenly
Togetherly
And tenderly crowned
.
I felt unseen fusion of fear and captivation
Some way beyond my keen articulation
As she skated the rink
In the blink of an eye
My dreams received the sweetest themed narration
.
Angel eyes
And graceful lines
Across the ice
Her name she signed
Would have done the same
Had I not been trained to remain polite
.
Inflamed I discerned the vaguest whisper of a smile
Unchanging was its flicker
Not a glimmer of denial
Life had paraded so many a trial
As I downwardly spiralled
Undetected
.
Angel eyes
And graceful lines
Across the ice
Her name she signed
So how could I then fail to be
So how could I then fail to be affected
.
Valerie
Call on me
Call on me
Valerie
Come and see me
I’m the same boy I used to be
.
Angel eyes
And graceful lines
Across the ice
Her name she signed
This time felt inclined to do the same
Renew a vital flame
In view of my enlightened faith
I knew through to the final fade
The light and shade
The light and shade
The light and shade were ours
To braid in twine
Ours would be a love of great divine
(Divine)
.
Her figure of eight
Was unweighted and freighted the brave air about her
In grace celebrated
I waited impatiently
Like a kid basically
Vacantly gazing skybound
(Divine)
Lost in a melody
Found within reverie
Heavenly
Togetherly
And tenderly crowned
As she skated the rink
In the blink of an eye
My eyes dressed the sight of resound
As we gleaned the adulation of the crowd
.
Heavenly
Togetherly
Heavenly
Togetherly
Heavenly
I’m the same boy I used to be
.
Divine
Divine
Divine
