The Knot

THE KNOT 

In this dark lonely life that I 
have 
You are my golden star, just 
shine 
If the happiness that I have is a 
sign that you are mine, then it's 
fine 
I am prepared to cross the line 
It's about time I claim what's 
mine. 

Hold me now, dance with me 
In these rainy days and muds 
I give you my heart to feel 
The aim is to survive the floods 
listen to the rhythm of my 
heartbeat 
and let's dance to the great love 

You are like a drug to my soul 
you take me high 
Spread your wings and let us fly 
Fly high to the sky so I can try 
One of the stars on your finger 
for there is a knot I want to tie 

If I were to show what love is 
I would just show your picture 
for you are the only love I 
know. 

My mind has become a fountain 
of thoughts of you 
Let us plant a tree that will 
never fall 
For there are healthy fruits I 
want it to give 
In our family tree where I'm 
prepared to live
Let us plant a tree that will 
never fall 
Our family tree where I'm 
prepared to live
