A Myth Written On Water

I thought that it
Would make some sense
Thought it meant something.

And outside two dancing leaves
That twist and curl
Cold spring in Paris.

And I thought that your love
Would make the dark a little brighter
And I thought that your love
Would make this weight a little lighter.

Some place so warm
Sheltered and pure
How did we get there?

And it seems not long ago
When suddenly this rain
Made us draw the blinds.

Cause I thought that your love
Would make the dark a little brighter
Cause I thought that your love
Would make this weight a little lighter.

We're hiding an abyss in our hearts
There's a secret, dark and forbidding
That we won't give away
Until that day
All promises get lost in fire.

And when all the doors have been closed
All the chords are played and all songs sung
We turn our face to the sun
Still dreaming of
Another fragile myth
Somewhere, sometime.

Cause I thought that your love
Would make the dark a little brighter
Cause I thought that your love
Would make this weight a little lighter.

I thought that it
Would make some sense
Thought it meant something.

And outside two lonely leaves
That twist and curl
No place to belong to.
