I hold you in my arms, thatīs 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
īNeath Allahīs blessed rain, we remain worlds apart
Sometimes the truth just ainīt enough
Or itīs too much in times like this
Letīs throw the truth away, weīll 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
Weīll let blood build a bridge, over mountains draped in stars
Iīll meet you on the ridge, between these worlds apart
Weīve got this moment now to live, then itīs all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives
Letīs let love give what it gives
