lyrics

In the sun, the sky burns as bright
As the sun in your smile
I’m beginning to think you’d be right
Stay with me for a while
I think a thousand lifetimes will do
Maybe just for a start
I am caught in the breeze that is you
Tell me one thing believing can't do

You were the desert breeze
You dried my tears
You brought warmth to my freeze
Sweet hot breath in my ear
Now I wait every night
For your tease to begin
And I know in the innocent July
We live forever

High in the sky
In this soft, lonely world
We are just around the corner
From the end

Through the open window
Movements on piano return
I am say...
