In the sharp gust of love
|
My memory stirred
|
When time wreathed a rose
|
A garland of shame
|
Its thorn my only delight
|
War torn, afraid to speak
|
We dare to breathe
|
Majestic
|
Imperial
|
A bridge of sighs
|
Solitude sails
|
In a wave of forgiveness
|
On angels' wings
|
|
Reach out your hands
|
Don't turn your back
|
Don't walk away
|
How in the world
|
Can I wish for this?
|
Never to be torn apart
|
Close to you
|
'Til the last beat
|
Of my heart
|
|
At the close of day
|
The sunset cloaks
|
These words in shadowplay
|
Here and now, long and loud
|
My heart cries out
|
And the naked bone of an echo says
|
Don't walk away
|
|
Reach out your hands
|
I'm just a step away
|
How in the world
|
Can I wish for this?
|
Never to be torn apart
|
Close to you
|
'Til the last beat
|
Of my heart
|
|
How in the world
|
Can I wish for this?
|
Never to be torn apart
|
'Til the last beat
|
'Til the last fleeting beat
|
Of my heart
|
