I hold you in my arms, that's when it starts

I seek faith in your kiss, and comfort in your heart

I taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars

But when I look into your eyes, we stand worlds apart



Where the distant oceans sing, and rise to the plain

In this dry and troubled country, your beauty remains

Down from the mountain roads where the highway rolls to dark

'Neath Allah's blessed rain, we remain worlds apart



Sometimes the truth just ain't enough

Or it's too much in times like this

Let's throw the truth away, we'll find it in this kiss

In your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts

May the living let us in, before the dead tear us apart



We'll let blood build a bridge, over mountains draped in stars

I'll meet you on the ridge, between these worlds apart

We've got this moment now to live, then it's all dust dust and dark

Let love give what it gives

Let's let love give what it gives
