Two birds flew swiftly overhead
One was Jane, the other Alfred
Jane chirped loudly, so I heard
“Are we separated from the herd?”
“Don’t worry,” said Alfred, “they will come
Stick with me and you’re always home”

Take my hand and promise me
You won’t ever let go of me
Never ever let my skin erode
Or ever let my head explode
Never let my heart skip a beat
Or let my eyes grow obsolete
Never let me feel a pain
In my knees or in my brain
Let my neck endure no ache
Or ever let my backbone break
Just ensure that there’s no sign
In my body of decline
Still if He sends the Angel of Death
To break my nerves and take my breath
Rip apart my bones and skin
Grab hold of all my love within
Keep it in your heart and preserve
There, for eternity, I will serve
Heal me with your love
Douse the fire in my heart
Like a lovely dove
With a lionheart
…
Your free spirit will taste
A raging soul disgraced
By the fear inside
For all the love I hide
Open the doors of glee
Rest your thoughts in me
Let my eyes see again
Everything but pain
…
Heal me with your love
Douse the fire in my heart
Like a lovely dove
With a lionheart
…
Freeze my ache, hold me
Hug me, jump, enfold me
As my soul’s unfurled
Let me see a blue world
Kiss me, love, embrace
The dark scars on my face
Love me, Love, hold me
Hug me, Love, enfold me
…
Heal me with your love
Douse the fire in my heart
Like a lovely dove
With a lionheart
…
Send me a ray wrapped in
A box with a card kept in
The deepest dark section
With love and affection
Of your precious, kind heart
Then tell me ‘Make a new start
With this light that I emit
So your heart may now be lit’
…
Heal me with your love
Douse the fire in my heart
Like a lovely dove
With a lionheart
I can live this life alone
I’ll be just fine on my own
But you know what I wanna do
I wanna spend this life with you
Fight you, bite you, hold you tight all night and write about you
Scold you, hold you when it’s cold and grow old with you
Make you fly, never lie or say goodbye or make you cry
Entertain you, make it rain for you, drive you insane and do it all again
Love you like a dove
Make you smile for a while
Be a clown when you’re down
Never let you frown
You know I can live this life alone
It’ll be so dull on my own
So you know what I wanna do
I wanna spend this life with you
Of gold my heart was made of
But too often broken
The price was quite well paid up
Though no word was spoken
Steadily and slow the little
Heart that I do own
Turned too numb to feel at all
My heart just turned to stone
Until of course you took my name
Held me with your hand
I never thought I’d feel the same
Never would understand
Now that I’ve encountered you
Your heart just more golden
Than one could ever wish to have
Hear or speak or beholden
Now my heart is like before
Gold as gold could be
And I could wish for nothing more
Than your golden company
I know what you’re thinking
If we can see this through
You think we’ve got nobody
No friends, no money too
Well then let me tell you
Just how wrong you are
Throw your worries away
Cast your fears afar
God’s on our side
…
Let the bright lights lead you
Feel the buoyant day
See the clouds, they’re guiding
Us upon our way
And if you’re feeling tired
Wait for the night to come
She will bring you rest then
She will take you home
For God’s on our side
…
Rest assured I’m with you
Just like all these birds
Hear them sing their songs now
Hear them play with words
Let them lift you over
Beyond the massive sky
Drop those sorrows from there
As I watch you fly
God’s on our side
…
Are you feeling easy
Calm and joyful now?
If you say ‘No’ then
I’ll find them out somehow
But don’t dare feel the sadness
There’s no reason to
Find that love deep inside
I’m always there for you
And God’s on our side
You know that there’s a tale
About an heaven’s dame
Sent down on earth eons ago
But no one knows her name
Nobody knows a thing whether
It is the truth or lie
Nobody knows of the angel
Who fell from the heavenly sky
Where she is? Where she must be?
Where she lives or goes?
Does she cry or does she smile?
What she does nobody knows
But I guess the truth is
Not meant for everyone
Some are afraid to see it
Others don’t know it’s fun
I am aware of the truth
The angel is for real
I can see her beauty
Her presence I can feel
In guise of an ordinary girl
She has entered my heart
But I know the secret
So I just play my part
I love her endlessly
She loves me all the same
The skies I see are smiling
I love the heavenly dame
Would you excuse me
If I act a little crazy?
I lose all my senses
When you are with me
This world does not know
What love needs to grow
Tons of craziness
I’m not scared to show
Keep me. Be with me
This is what I like to be
With insanity
A fool in love you see
Love is not a fairytale
It’s a long struggle and hard pain
Only few can then survive
Reap the fruits for which they strive
Well our way is dark, obscure
Even we could never be sure
If at all we’d reach our goal
Where my heart will meet your soul
But I’m sure that while we’re here
Everything will seem so clear
Light will shine our whole path through
Then you’d know that I love you
So come and let us pass this way
We may not see the light of day
Love is not a fairytale
But true love, girl, can never fail
The sun shines down
The skies are clear
The winds blow soft
And you are here
Over green grasses our bodies lay
Oh it’s such a perfect day
…
No worry about time
Running away from me
For we’ll be together
For eternity
You can almost hear the angels say
Oh it’s such a perfect day
…
You give your hand
In my hand
Our souls delight
Hearts understand
And our bodies feel just the same way
Oh it’s such a perfect day
…
I look in your eyes
You look in mine
And we know
That love’s divine
Free from all ache and decay
Oh it’s such a perfect day
…
We’ll stay here till
The world turns new
You with me
And I with you
Even when we’re old and grey
Oh it’s such a perfect day
