Oceans wept
Moutains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children´s lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Pull me close
Dear I´m tremblin´
Hold me tight
I´m afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love, it burns bright
Oh, summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
I never wanted to say goodbye
I´d throw myself to the sea
If God promised you´re inside
We´d float to island paradise
And I´d become your bride
The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There´s no music in the night
I´d become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I´d become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Destiny
Used to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said Jesus left somethin´ behind
Every inch of this body
I´d plate in gold for you
Even though I ain´t go no money
I´d do it just to keep you
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
The chickens, they crowed
And I knowed you´re home
Oh, my spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch
Moutains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children´s lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Pull me close
Dear I´m tremblin´
Hold me tight
I´m afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love, it burns bright
Oh, summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
I never wanted to say goodbye
I´d throw myself to the sea
If God promised you´re inside
We´d float to island paradise
And I´d become your bride
The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There´s no music in the night
I´d become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I´d become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Destiny
Used to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said Jesus left somethin´ behind
Every inch of this body
I´d plate in gold for you
Even though I ain´t go no money
I´d do it just to keep you
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
The chickens, they crowed
And I knowed you´re home
Oh, my spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch
