if (i painted u)
if I painted u a picture, if I sang for u a song
if I looked at u forever, if I knew I wasn’t wrong
and if I stood out in the courtyard, one thousand lovers strong
if I knew u’d come by starlight, and u’d find me in the throng
yeah, I’d paint u that picture, yeah, I’d sing u that song
by the pyramid of light tonight, If u ever come along
yeah, I’d paint u that picture, yeah, I’d sing u that song
there’s a pyramid of light tonight, and I know u’ll come along
if I wrote for u a ballad, if I sculpted u in bronze
if I bathed u in the fountain, by the preening of the swans
and if I worshipped u in scripture, ten thousand pages long
then I made a wish by starlight, and u’d hear my evensong
