Lyrics
Would you love me if I made you coffee
Every morning for a thousand years
In the evening you tell me a story
About a hunter turned into a deer
We talk for hours in a sentimental fashion
Breathing in the languid perfume of the moon
And pick the flowers that we'll lay out on their coffins
Cold winter comes oh, so soon
The light of your eyes
And the curve of your smile (And the curve of your smile)
The lovely surprise of (The glow of)
Your skin in the dark
Lie for a while
And I'll be by your side (And I'll be by your side)
Meantime the moments won't make a mark
Like Selene and Endymion
We'll watch the string of days go by
You will shine and I will lie down
To observe you in the midnight sky
Our history is just one dream after another
Written down in a shaky script
I can see the here and ever after
In the curve of your blood red lips
The light of your eyes
And the curve of your smile (And the curve of your smile)
The lovely surprise of (The glow of)
Your skin in the dark
Lie for a while
And I'll be by your side (and I'll be by your side)
Meantime the moments won't make a mark
When you sleep, sleep with one eye open
And you'll see me watching over you
Wake me gently and the spell will be unbroken
We'll walk the garden in eternal bloom
