there's a place, lover, there's a golden field
where the gypsies would dance and the elven children played
we spun tales of the underground and myths of heaven
we stumbled and ran as the night swallowed day

by the lake we watched geese float and hiss
tormenting the ducks that whimpered in fear
we mocked the foolish couples too afraid to kiss
chased after the birds when they dared to come near

I'd love to see you again, you know
to tangle rosebuds in your hair
I would give you all the love that you forgot
and I'd never let you go again

I'd hate to lose you, you know
and it's hard, being neither here nor there
but I find this love so rare
no other could compare

we made music, I recall, endless symphonies from Hell
wrapped in unholy sin we pulled the dark from our eyes
reached for the inferno and smashed the church bell
we burned their cathedrals and buried their lies

laughed forever, or it felt that way for some time
it was hard to find words to express the feeling
the mirth and the tears became one and the same
human emotion transcended all reason

I must hold you, I tell you
can't we return to our den?
why can't we write lyrics,
and dim the lights once again?

I never wanted to hurt you
and I never wanted to go
the months are unbearable
and our loneliness grows

we'll ride away together in a train or a plane
take our thoughts and memories and set the anguish aside
scatter seeds of artistry using pleasure and pain
drowning forever in turquoise tides

it's not quite the same without being near
but since when does that stop me from loving you?
we have hopes, we have dreams, and there is a future
the sun cannot die in our lifetime

let's go, let's go, let's go
you've tried so hard, I know
you're tired; you just want to sleep
and the scars, they run silver, run deep

I promise I'll see you again
you'll smile soon, you'll smile bright
there is no heaven and no hell
but there is always, forever, the light
