Music that could wash over my anxious , sensitive hands , over my sour , shivering lips , Deep , transparent , and liquid-slow music . Oh , for the old and low healing flowing Of a song performed to comfort those who are dead , A tune that flows down my head like water , and across my muscles , dream burning hot ! I am simply in love and in need of music . There is a delight created by melody , A spell of calmness , peaceful breathing , and a cool heart That floats forever in a pool , embraced by rhythm and sleep , And dips through fading colors deep to the sea ' s undersea quietness and calmness . I am simply in love and in need of music . Music brings me delight , Music brings me calmness , Music brings me love . I am in love and in need of music .
