lyrics

As I see you, I will form you
By your face, my pencil is my heart
As I feel you, I’ll create you
In the sky I’ll paint you as my art
By my power, I invoke you
On my canvas you will come to being
As the tenth muse, unrequited
Use my skill in secret honouring

So I draw you, I implore you
I am tenth, for muse of art I am
I am near you, always present
Though my flesh is from a foreign land

I’m the tenth muse, undetected
For my art lives only in your grace
You’re mine own muse, for I love you
And my mirth, I find it in your face

Do you see me? Do you feel me?
As I haunt the poetry you write
Muse of music, not a fair one
At your feet, my pencil is your might
