words and music by Eric Gant and Timothy H. Patton

lyrics

I am not a sensible choice.
Explain that to your friends.
But what of strange connections
And wants like gale force winds?
I think there’s something rare here.
It may not fit your plan.
A unique mix of energies
Between this woman and this man

Who are waiting for the white stag
So as to give chase.
In something raw and epic,
Passion has a place.
I don’t want to stop your journey.
I’m bound and vowed to mine,
But let’s enswirl our energies
And share magical sacred time.

I can’t say what right for you,
But it’s hard not to suggest
That what I’m wanting like a hunger
Seems like it’d be best.
Your responsibilities,
They can’t take all your time.
The heart unfed can starve the soul
And leave the mind’s eye blind.

And waiting for the white stag
So as to give chase.
In something raw and epic,
Passion has a place.
I don’t want to stop your journey.
I’m bound and vowed to mine,
But let’s enswirl our energies
And share magical sacred time.

I admit that I was drunk.
I was high on the liquor of courtship.
I have withdrawal from your press against me
And tremors at the thought of your lips.
I long to feel your barriers fall,
Surrendering to bliss,
And kiss each perfect contour,
Rock in time with your hips.

Now I’m waiting for the white stag
So as to give chase.
In something raw and epic,
Passion has a place.
I don’t want to stop your journey.
I’m bound and vowed to mine,
But let’s enswirl our energies
And share magical sacred time.
