How can a pebble get a pearl to its side
How can a duck court a swan
How can the night have the day to avoid it
How can water join with fire
Days will pa** leaving me to drown
In the endless depths of my heart
Can this stubborn man ever let go
Of what he knows he won't have
How can a desert have a rose to bloom
How can a fish walk the lands
How can a dove get to reach the sun
Without burning its wings
Months will pa** leaving me to freeze
In the raging cold of my heart
Can this bitten man ever let go
Of what he knows he won't have
Years will pa** leaving me to burn
In the pa**ionate fires of my heart
Certain this man will never let go
Of what he knows he won't have
I reach out for the stars above my head
Not noticing the flowers all around me.
