Lyrics
In the soft dust of love
My memory stirred
When time breathed the rose
A garland of shame
It's fooling my only delight
War-torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic, imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails in the wake
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 till the last beat of my heart
At the close of day
The sunset calls
These words in shadow play
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the gatekeeper, numb and 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 till the last beat of my heart
How in the world can I wish for this
Never to be torn apart?
Till the last beat
Till the last fleeting beat of my heart
