Indian Palaces and Long Lost Paintings
The ocean keeps us apart
Like shackles tying us to the Earth
They cannot bind us forever,
Sweetheart,
Close your eyes... can you see me?
Hold out your hand... can you feel me?
When you part your lips... can you taste me?
Sweetheart,
In my head the science is simple
What are the coordinates? ...Here.
And the time? ...Now.
The ocean keeps us apart
But under the stars we remain together.
