I slept last night in the boughs of a tall tree That stretched its branches skywards If I have learned any lesson from sleeping beside you I’d say keep your feet planted firmly on the ground
I rode many journeys both with and without you Travelled the roads till my feet were their colour I saw many stars even before I met you When you held my waist and my feet left the ground
And oh, it hurts more than I can say To have your whole world and then to have it swept away A raging fire couldn’t do me any harm And I know because I burn for you I burn for you I burn for you
I’ve known your love since before you could speak it I held you closer than she ever will We burned so bright that the night was extinguished Bright as the music that flowed through our fingers
