Waist Deep in Love

I’ve spent all my time
and my very last dime
to be the man on the scene
in the service of a queen

She remains touchless in the night
just beyond my grasp in a dreamy flight
and I’m alone again
and I know it so well
and I remember the game
so the check’s in the mail

Watch out below
look out above
surrender to the flow
waist deep in love
waist deep in love

I've saved up my hopes
but I have learned to cope
with being a man in search
of a way to prove my worth

To the woman who makes the day begin
like a weeping willow she bends
and I'm safe beneath
far away from harm
and I found a new belief
a cathedral in her arms

Look out below
watch out above
tickled by the glow
waist deep in love
waist deep in love

Watch out below
look out above
these feelings as they grow
waist deep in love
waist deep in love
waist deep
deep in love
in love

Tomorrow has come today
and there's so much we could say
but words fall useless
we'll leave it with the rest
as we take flight together
baptized by this weather
falling from above
neck deep in love

Souls, My Favorite is your 5th stanza, & your closing stanza.
So very wonderful, & such a whirlwind to be 'waist deep'...& 'neck deep' in love.
