Never thought I was romantic
Always thought I was so smart
But from the day I saw you
had to take it from the start
I thought I'd lived before
my path entwined with yours
Now I can't seem to sleep
Don't leave me incomplete
Your name's on the tip of my tongue
and it tastes bittersweet
The atmosphere's electric
you're in the air I breathe
Like lights in the depths of the ocean
you are glowing in the deep
You're bioluminescent
you're all the light I need
with you I see
and through the night
you come alive
Never thought I'd catch me drifting
til I saw you in the street
You told me no big deal
You said in time I'll heal
But I can't help how I feel
Please give me something real
(Chorus)
One day I'll see the light
I'll realise you're right
I try to but I can't
I'll give you all I am
Your name's on the tip of my tongue
and it tastes bittersweet
The atmosphere's electric
you're in the air I breathe
Like lights in the depths of the ocean
you are glowing in the deep
You're bioluminescent
you flash and then you're gone
you give no warmth
and through the dim
you draw me in

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
