Secret Garden

Time has no meaning here,
Come play with me in my
Secret garden full of
Serpents and flowers.

Eat forbidden fruit with me,
I'll never let you fall alone,
Let's have some tea and
We'll talk.

Tell me your name,
Your dearest wish,
Your hopes and dreams, in return
You can spend eternity with me.

I don't want to be alone anymore,
The nights and days come, then go,
Nothing stays forever, who is it
I'm waiting for, living for?

This loneliness gnaws at me
Like a sort of hunger,
But caution is my shield to
Defend me from being hurt.

I want to Love and be Loved,
The kind that lasts for all time,
So tell me darling, will
You be The One?
