As the swan, takes the milk from the water
As the flower, takes the sun from the clouds
As the bee takes the nectar from the flower
As the minute takes the seconds from the hour
Please see my, innermost desire
Covered and chained by collected dust and iron
I'm sorry that, when I say your name, I don't cry
What's my love for you if I'm still standing here alive
As the fire, is covered by the smoke
As the dust falls upon the mirror
As the baby, hides within the womb
I'm just prayin' that my love will be born soon
Please see my, innermost desire
Covered and barred, by collected dust and iron
I'm sorry that, when I say your name, I don't cry
What's my love for you if I'm still standing here alive
But these are just words
