Falling Through the Fire

Falling by Julee Cruise

Falling Through The Fire

Come with me, he shouted

And took me by the hand

And off we went exploring

A woman and a man.

I didn't have a road map

I didn't know the way

I only knew I'd follow 

Where he led me that day.

And so we ran through rainstorm

And so we swam through flood

Riding on the west wind's wings

With a wildness in our blood.

My long hair blew back in his face

And he twisted it 'round his hands

Pulling me into his arms

By those raven colored strands.

His mouth caught mine in hunger

Devoured my crimson lips

And I laughed at him and tried to run

With his hands around my hips.

Not now, not here, I said to him

And caught him by surprise

Watching dark clouds forming fast

And filling up his eyes.

You must do as I tell you 

I said and felt his ire

If you want this woman's love

You must fall through the fire.

What do you mean? he queried me

What is this trick you play?

No trick, Sweet Boy, I answered back

But you must do as I say.

I lay him down in green grass

And covered up his eyes

And all he heard was the waterfall

And birds up in the skies.

Where are you? he called to me

And I felt his anxiousness

He knew not yet what I might do

And he could only guess.

Be patient, love I chided him

I will not do you harm

See how your body shakes with cold

Now I will make it warm.

And I took his clothes away from him

And clothed him with my hair

Falling down upon his form

Like Adonis lying there.

I traced his body with my fingers

And memorized each line

Lightly as a butterfly

Upon his skin so fine.

What are you doing? What do you want?

He breathed as though afraid

Lying in that emerald field

And underneath the shade.

The tree leaves slowly began to fall

And made a kind of bed

Covering up his trembling flesh

And falling on his head.

I watched him move this way and that

His voice in anger calling

You must remove this blindfold now

I must know what is falling!

It's only me, love, do not fear

I whispered as he ranted

Hear my heart beat now so fast

It's only me, I panted.

And I made my way from heel to head

Kissing every inch

My torrid tongue a flame of fire

That made my lover flinch.

What are you doing? he moaned at me

In a tortured ragged breath

I'm taking you into the fire,

I'm loving you too death.

At that, he howled and reached for me

But my flesh he could not touch

Wilder now, his body begged

It wanted mine so much.

But little did my lover know

For we were not long acquainted

That I was was not an average girl

And not what I'd been painted.

He couldn't know. I hid it so

I kept my secrets well

And even I had never known

For the others wouldn't tell.

From whence I'd come or when I'd come

If I were pure or leaven

I didn't know where I'd been born

In Hell or up in Heaven.

I only knew what I only knew

And the power that I had

The ways and means to make men scream

In joy and then go mad.

So long I'd sought my perfect match

A man that I could love

Who didn't care where I'd come from

Down there or up above.

A man that loved me for myself

And didn't run away

And so I planned to test that man

And see if he would stay.

I dropped rose petals on his flesh

I pierced him with the thorn

I licked the blood up with my tongue

Where his body had been torn.

I heard an owl up in the tree

Chuckle like a man

I saw a form like a black cat

Run across the land.

The wind blew softly on my skin

For I was unclad and bare

And twilight pushed the sun away

As I was standing there.

Where are you? my lover asked

As he sought to untie his wrists

I've had enough! And he tried to rise

But he could not refuse my kiss.

I fell on him like a hungry beast 

Devouring him like a meal

Tasting his sweetness and swallowing his wine

And making him to feel.

Like no man had ever felt

Drowning in desire

Giving himself to pain and pleasure

And dancing in the fire.

And when I thought he could take no more

He set himself then free

Tearing the blindfold from his eyes,

He threw himself on me.

And loved me till the midnight came

And the moon rose in the sky

Tearing my flesh with his teeth

Till I thought that I would die.

Loving me and hurting me

And healing with his touch

I'd never felt such ecstasy

And I loved it oh, so much.

For hours he loved me, like a man

But no man I'd ever met

Giving me exquisite joy

And a night I'll not forget. 

His eyes, they looked right in my soul

His soul, I saw so clear

And terror hung above our heads

And yet I felt no fear.

I wanted to die there in his arms

Beneath his thrusting  form

I melded with the earth below

As night turned into dawn.

Each bite and bruise I cherished

Each pain and pleasure, grasped

And held to it with loving hands

And my love for him I gasped.

I love you! I love you! I love you! I cried

As we reached the mountaintop

And tidal waves carried us away

And we could not make it stop.

Nor did we want to until we lay

In pools of feverish sweat

Covering in the morning dew

And love's rain so sweet and wet.

Now, do not ask me to explain

For I cannot and will not try

But when we'd loved with all our souls

We rose up in the sky.

And flew on wings we did not have

Up to the trees so tall

And then we dove down to the ground

And bathed in the waterfall.

Laughing like two children, laughing

And kissing between each laugh

We felt like people who'd been made whole

After living torn in half.

We stood up on the hill at last

Feeling fresh and new

Young and ancient as the stars

Now knowing what was was true.

He searched my eyes for signs of fear

But only saw desire

And I knew he was the cleansing water

And he knew I was the fire.

We two, had fallen to the depths

And rose again as well

Two beings who found their home in heaven

Even though they'd come from hell.
