Check is not Checkmate

from tales from the forsaken art house by Bill White

/

lyrics

I expected you
To face up the card
And blush
The curl of your hair
Falling over your eye
Never to fold
Because check is not checkmate.....
Standing behind
The cards we played
Accepting the bet
Paying to lpay
Accepting to keep
Fight the despair
Even when birds cannot fly
Even when birds cannot sing
Because check is not checkmate...
How can we live
never knowing the touch
Never knowing the smell
Never knowing the taste
The motion the movement
The smile that transports us
From here and to there
Because check is not checkmate...
How can we live
Without knowing
If our love story
Is indeed
The greatest love story
That has ever been told?
