Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily…
Originally written for and performed by In Tenebris, this song was never properly recorded, and when Oh So started finding it’s sea legs, it seemed to fit well stylistically with other songs we were doing. The lyrics are about a dream, or a fantasy perhaps, of a one night stand that never happened. It’s a pretty story, I think. -JJ

Hold me when the lights go out
And run your fingers thru my hair
For too long I have lived without
This feeling is beyond compare

I’ve already fallen for you
To me love is but a dream
And if only for a night
We will discover what it means

Sway beneath the falling sky
I promise I won’t let you down
Let candle light caress your eyes
Let whispers be the only sound

Can we keep the morning from our minds?

Welcoming the coming storm
We celebrate what we can’t see
And when I am in your arms
In trust I know I can believe
I’ve already fallen for you
To me love is but a dream
And if only for a night
We will discover what it means

When each new feeling is taken for a sign
The boundaries between us grow harder to define
Perception of daylight seems to fall behind
Can we keep the morning from our minds?
