about
Oriental feel plus rock, this song reflects mystic connection to everything.
lyrics
He led her to the window,
and showed her scarlet flowers
they talked with eyes and laughed and cried
for centuries and hours
till she took his hand and in his heart
a butterfly passed by
and time was as irrelevant
as food or wind or sky.
He led her to the forest
and the animals and trees
agreed she was the loveliest.
They sailed upon the breeze
to where reality ]confronted
their dreams of liberty.
yeah reality confronted
their dreams of liberty.
In the garden plant a seed
It may turn out to be a weed, cause
peace is never guaranteed
So they knelt down and agreed
to love, not hate,
to live, not wait,
to hug and kiss
and never miss
the only moment that was this.
They were one, they were two
they were small, they were huge
they were water, they were glue
they were me, they were you.
He led her to the highest edge
of all the universe
she leapt and flew
Then taught him to
Color yellow, color blue
they caught a rainbow,
then he knew
to love, not hate,
to live, not wait,
to hug and kiss
and never miss
the only moment that was this.
They were one, they were two
they were small, they were huge
they were water, they were glue
they were me, they were you.
They were one, they were two
they were small, they were huge
they were water, they were glue
they were we.
They were, they wa, they wa they wa
they wa, they wa they wa, wa-ter
They were, they wa, they wa they wa
(never miss the only moment, that is this)
