Don’t matter if the road is long Don’t matter if it’s steep Don’t matter if the page is gone It’s written that we’ll meet. I loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat and I love you when it closes a thousand kisses deep. I know you had to lie to me I know you had to cheat You learned it on your father’s knee and at your mother’s feet. But did you have to fight your way across the burning street where all our vital interests lay a thousand kisses deep…
Don’t matter if the road is long
Don’t matter if it’s steep
Don’t matter if the page is gone
It’s written that we’ll meet.
I loved you when you opened
like a lily to the heat
and I love you when it closes
a thousand kisses deep.
I know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
You learned it on your father’s knee
and at your mother’s feet.
But did you have to fight your way
across the burning street
where all our vital interests lay
a thousand kisses deep…
