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
Dont turn your back
Dont 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
Dont walk away

Reach out your hands
Im 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
