From the very moment my eyes fell upon you, alone on sandy beach
Your skin as brown as treated wood, your hair as white as bleach
You became my one and only, in stealing half my soul
You became my one ambition, my solitary goal
You ricochet inside my skull, like a pinball machine
Trespassing my darkest secrets, inhabiting my dreams
I speak a word you sing a song, I stare blankly and you smile
For you I’d die a thousand deaths, I’d run a thousand miles
And I swear that I will find you; I’ll hold you in my arms
We’ll elope to distant beaches, you’ll never come to harm
We’ll run away from city smoke, high rise buildings, steel and cars
We’ll race the sun to the horizon, then rest under the stars
We’ll only take ourselves, our love, a can of kerosene
We’ll light matches in our footprints, burning all that’s ever been
We’ll write letters to each other; float them in bottles out to sea
Love songs never to be sung, except by you and me
And when we get too old, too slow, to keep up with the sun
We’ll walk across the endless sand; we do not need to run
Our race is drawing to a close; I may have days before I’m dead
But I do not need time on my side, if you are there instead
The sun will slowly creep away, knowing we are beat
And we will stand and wave goodbye, gracious in defeat
We’ll sit and remember days of now, when there was no end in sight
I’ll hold you in my dying arms, kissing you goodnight
And when the curtain does descend and leave us in the gloom
I’ll be lying right there next to you, I’ll share your starry tomb
I need no pearly gates, no clouds, just sand and salty air
Why would I need angels if my own angel is right there?
And then our ghostly forms will rise, to be scattered by the salt
But nothing will ever tear us apart, neither storm nor lightning bolt
We’ll dance a tango through the skies, at mercy of the weather
Together for eternity. Just you and me forever
just don't ask me how it turned out :-p lol
. I have lots of faith lol. I hope to read more of your love songs!
