And will the vows be heard Of immortal desire A breathtaking darkness Into the abyss we dive As you were mine And as memories fade Just like trails of smoke On a midwinter's night You kept holding me tight As you were mine On came the nights When stormclouds veiled the skies All heavens stood still And all the words did collide "Forgive me - I failed!" Lovelorn I will die Nothing more than a dream
That you were mine And when the time has come Everything ends But this love of ours It leaves us behind As you were mine In my cold white hands A lover's bequest There were stars on our side Oh Eva - just one last caress For you were mine "My friend: The most precious gift", Said the fool, "Is a love that follows no rule! There's no use in turning away! So why are you turning away?"
