Columns of sweet flag
line the ancient arena
where love conquers all
The brilliant heavens
with its endless string of pearls
dances the god waltz
If we could but see
the one locked inside we would
set a giant free
Take time
Take your sweet time
We’ve got all of it in our hands
This moment to last
Holding you in a heartbeat
Never skipping a beat
Ignore everything
Forget all past behind
Come away with me in the breeze
Sweet flag of redemption
One perfect moment
This is
Saving you
Saving me
We’re still young
Mountains speak promises
That the river takes
The wind behind
Is not in rush
While we make this love
We make love
Taking our sweet time
We’ve got all of it in our hands
