A Stolen Love Story


When forever was a sentence,

Sentence to death.

Oh, you were a running tear, 

I was a drop of sweat.

And, the edges of your soul,

I haven’t seen yet.

And I’m glad I get forever to see where you end


I won’t be alone for the rest of my life. I’ll build a boat for when the river gets high and I’ll meet a girl in the heat of July.
Is it really you? Let’s search the sky for a while, you and I. Collide like two stars, you and I.


I adore beautiful things in art.

Sculptures, music and paintings. 

However this may interest me so, time proves to me. 

More beautiful than the most beautiful painting of them all, 

you are, my love, you are.

The gloss of your hair. 

The blush on your cheeks.

Oh the radiating of your eyes,

Prettier than the sunlight.


In the morning, when I wake.

And the sun is coming through.

Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness

and you fill my head with you.

Shall I write it in a letter?

Shall I try to get it down?

Oh, you fill my head with pieces,

of a song I can’t get out


Collaging effects and emotions to fill up entire oceans.
My honest eyes discover the world in a naive way to confuse the demons of the night. Faster than the speed of sound. Faster than we thought we’d go. Beneath the sound of hope. 


Hung down with the freaks and ghouls. No apologies ever need to be made.
Oh, and there we were all in one place. A generation lost in space with no time left to start again. Don’t believe everything that you breathe. The eyes, they know like a thousand tiny suns that glow. The better they know. Oh, the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, they know. While the truth lies low. They say I got to learn, but nobody’s here to teach me. If they can’t understand it, how can they reach me? 


I guess they can’t.

I guess they won’t. 


When times aren’t the best and I’m on the edge. I’ll listen for a song in the distance.
Well, the music there, well it was hauntingly familiar. When I see you doing what I try to do for me with the words of a poet and a voice from a choir.


And a melody

And nothing else mattered.


Just like the white-winged dove

Weeping shades of indigo

Trapped without a reason

Weeping shades of indigo

It’s my own design.

It’s my own remorse.

Help me to decide.

Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure.


Oh, I’ll wait 

I’ll wait 

I’ll wait

I’ll wait for you


Oh sweetheart of my life, and I confess that I wait for you to ask me. Way down, would you say I’m worthy?


I can wait for you at the bottom 

I can stay away if you want me to

I can wait for years if I gotta



In my life, there’s been heartache and pain. I don’t know if I can face it again. Can’t stop now, I’ve travelled so far to change this lonely life.
If I may say something; It isn’t linear. Expanding your boundaries seldom happens without pain, because the most beautiful of flowers grow right next to the ravine. To be able to pluck those, you must dare to be scared. Life doesn’t scare me anymore. I have crawled so far, the last part should be fine when I stand up. 


Tomorrow I’ll be here again and I choose my path. 

Tomorrow, it will be different.

I’ll be happy there are birds around.

The winds rise.

The sand blows everywhere and nowhere.

Everywhere and nowhere.


Ride in the shadows, wandering beyond the frame. Float like a feather through space and time, outside a dream. Pirouette with divinity in a dance we’ve shared before.
When I look back, boy I must have been green. Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream. Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign. Until I saw your city lights, honey I was blind. 


Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face with stars to fill my dream. I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been. Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace. Sounds caress my ear. Though not a word I heard could I relate. The story was quite clear.


Do you go to the country? It isn’t very far. There’s people there who will hurt you, because of who you are. Take me away from this big bad world and agree to marry me.


So we could start over again.


I’ve got no faith to lose, only to gain. At least I can dream. We can be free if we want it or we can stay in this lane all alone. Just say the word and I’m on it. The past is receding so we can move on.
 


Back to the street where we began. Feeling as good as love, you could, you can. Into a place where thoughts can bloom.
There is a house built out of stone. Wooden floors, walls and windowsills. Tables and chairs worn by all the dust. This is a place where I don’t feel alone. This is a place where I feel at home and I built a home. For you, for me. It’s far beyond the stars. It’s near beyond the moon. I know without a doubt my heart will lead me there soon. And then we are sitting in the old beachhouse. The things you tell me keep me sober and warm. Above my head, I see the grey clouds. I am happy you are here, happy you are here with me.


Rain down, rain down

Come on, rain down on me

From a great height 

from a great height, height

Rain down, rain down

Come on, rain down on me

From a great height 

from a great height, height


Out there’s a world that calls for me, girl. Heading out into the unknown. Wayfaring strangers and all kinds of dangers. Please don’t say I am going alone.


To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?


So I said follow me down this time. I wrote the rules, but you’ve got the time. So can you help me? I’ve got to break free from these chains. Oh, from these chains on the way down. I can follow you. Your heart beats just like I wanted it to, and you want it to.
So let’s set out to sea, love, because you are my medicine when you are close to me.


Everyone is waiting for the light. 

Be afraid

Don’t be afraid

The sun is shining out of my eyes


Oh, how nice life is when the sun is shining. Yes, the world gains a new colour. A sweet scent hangs in the air. Oh, how nice life is when the sun is shining 


And it was her, the sun, which awoke us every morning.

And the sea was beautiful.

And we ran towards her.

Hand in hand.

And we walked along the beach

You searched for seashells 

Like a child

Putting them to your ear 

To listen, I remember, to hear the ocean within.


Hey little tornado, you dance through the streets. 

Hold me tight when it ends.

Hold me tight, because we are so alike.

Your worries, mine.

Hold me close


You, strange as angels. Dancing in the deepest oceans, twisting in the water. You’re just like a dream.
Jump around, jump around. Jump up, jump up, and get down. It was an evening I shared with the sun to find out where we belong. From the earliest days, we were dancing in the shadows. Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing movement into light. She danced into the danger zone, when the dancer becomes the dance. 


Take my hand and my world into your own. Just as I am, melting into you. Lately, I’ve been dreaming everyday’s a game, everyone I meet is a hero. Lately I’ve been dreaming that the world is good. Life is just so good with you. 


The piercing radiant moon

The storming of poor June


All the life running through her hair. Approaching guiding light, our shallow years in fright. Dreams are made, winding through my head.
Last night I had a dream about you. In this dream, I’m dancing right beside you and it looked like everyone was having fun. The kind of feeling I've waited so long. 


Don’t stop, come a little closer


As we jam, the rhythm gets stronger. There is nothing wrong with just a little, little fun. We were dancing all night long.
Treasure of mine, you go and sleep. 


You go and sleep while I…

Treasure of mine, I’ll sing to you in your sleep. One day, you’re going to grow up. One day, one day.


But today you’re as small as a seashell that fortune has sent down to us.


Today I will go to bed late. When everyone will be in bed already. I have my eyes open and my head is full yet empty.
And oh. my dreams. It’s never quite as it seems. I know I felt like this before, but now I am feeling it even more, because it came from you. Then I open up and see the person falling here is me. A different way to be. And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don’t hurt me. You’re what I couldn't find. It seems like a dream, to see you again, to caress you, to hold your hands again tightly in mine. When I wake, I think, flustered, I’ll tell no one of what I dreamt. I dreamt so wo-wo-wo-wonderfully. 


Red apple of mine, colored like a pomegranate.


True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree. A willow dancing on air before covering me under cotton and calicoes over canopy dapple long ago. With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet. Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat. Settle soft and pure as snow. I fell in love with the fire long ago.
Flowers blooming on top of the arched tree. As she sings softly, my soul retrains. Her fondness melts me languidly. 

The birds sing and tweet in the eternal blue sky. They are happy and joyful in their souls. Mint of the garden, your greenness is like a garden with a fruitful fig tree. You figure as it walks, is like a curvy branch. 

You’re the air that I breathe and the moon’s light on the sea. The throat I yearn to wet, that I fear to drown with love. You’re so peculiar, just want to be on your planet forever now. It’s driving me out of my mind. That is why it’s hard for me to find. Can’t get it out of my head.


Miss her, kiss her, love her. It’s never over.

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder. It’s never over

All my riches for her smile when I slept so soft against her. It’s never over.

All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter.


She is of spectral class, unearthly power, burst loose when she smiled at me. You can see back in the past when you look at her. Yes, she is practically intergalactic.


If your heart doesn’t wish to give in, doesn’t want to suffer. Without making plans of what will come next, my heart can love for the both of us.
 


I’ll be the fire and the cold, a winter shelter. I’ll be what you breathe, I’ll understand what you hold inside and I’ll be the water you drink. The meaning of good. I’ll even be a soldier or a light in the evening.


I ask for nothing in return, just a smile. Every little tear of yours is an ocean on my face. I ask for nothing in return, just a little time. 


I’ll be a battle banner, a shield or your silver sword.


She has a father who’s nothing like a father. They told her there’s a castle in town with such strong walls that if you move in, nothing will ever hurt you again. Nothing will ever hurt you again.


You are calm, you deserve it, you were always good. 


I want to fly her away where the sun and rain. Come in over my face, wash away all the shame. When they stop and stare, don’t worry about me, because what I’m feeling for her, is what she’s feeling for me.


Eyes of a girl.

How many skies, how many seas that await me.

Eyes of a girl.

If I look at them, I see the dreams I will have.


We will leave together for a trip through cities I don’t know. How many springs will come, how happy they will make us.

I’m already in your eyes. We can take forever, just a minute at a time. More than a woman, more than a woman to me. 


Come on, come on now. Out from underneath who you were. Come on, come on now. You know it’s time to emerge. So go ahead and wrap your arms around me.
Come lie with me. Wrap your body around mine and hold me tightly. I’ve been so cold. You don’t have to say anything. The truth speaks already from our eye contact. And tonight we show our true faces.


These lines of lightning mean we’re never alone, never alone. Come on, come on, move a little closer. Come on, come on, I want to hear you whisper.
I got this feeling. Tell me, girl, I gotta know. Touch you softly. Do you think that we can move closer, baby? 


I want you


As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you. Don’t want to lie here, but you can learn to. If I could change the way that you see yourself, you wouldn’t wonder why you hear, ‘They don’t deserve you’.
Oh, but I’m proud of you, but I’m proud of you. Nothing left to make me feel small. Luck has left me standing so tall. 


No, I can’t forget you

No, I can't erase you

You taught me how to love 

You taught me how to dance


While one is alive, one must love as much as possible.


Kiss me, out of the bearded barley. Nightly, besides the green, green grass. Swing, swing, swing the spinning step. 


You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.


Kiss me beneath the milky twilight. Lead me out on the moonlit floor. Lift your open hand, strike up the band and make the fireflies dance, silver moon sparkling. So kiss me.


Oh, to see without my eyes, the first time that you kissed me. Boundless by the time I cried. I built your walls around me. White noise, what an awful sound. Fumbling by rogue rivers. Feel my feet above the ground. 


Oh, will wonders ever cease? 


Blessed be the mystery of love.
Touch my tears with your lips. Touch my world with your fingertips and we can have forever. And we can love forever. Forever is our today. I won’t hesitate no more, no more. It cannot wait, I’m yours. Something in your kiss just told me my sometime is now


A moment, a love

A dream, aloud

A kiss, a cry 

Our rights, our wrongs 


I promise you this, I’ll always look out for you. That’s what I’ll do.
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart. There is a chance we could make it now. That's how much I feel for you, baby.


On this endless ocean, finally, love has no more shame. Turning and returning to some secret place inside. Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say. 


Take my breath away. 


While you laughed, the sun caressed my heart with flowers. You took away my sadness with colours. We love each other although many opposed. We hid our love, we invented in each corner our song. 


But that’s our story, it happened to us. You may not believe us, but you can’t take it away from us.
