Count the seconds between
The lightning and the thunder
While you fall asleep in the moonlight.
Taste the dream of my voice
Brushing against your lips,
The heat of my breath
Caressing your soul.
Let the candles go out
As the moonlight comes in.
Give up your excuses
During the storm
So the sky goes on forever.
