Lyrics

PAST UNCONDITIONAL

A hole in the clouds and I fall through
Another life another time another me another you
A cave underground that I crawl through
Another life another time another me another you

Lost on the edge again, you taste the earth
And wonder how to begin
Smoke your cheap cigarettes, take your cynical brushes
And color my skin

And when our dark eyes meet, time freezes
Oxygen burns
Back in the bloodstream again, the only addiction
That always returns

And what makes a love?
Is history enough?
What makes a love?
Is poetry enough?
What makes a love?
Is chemistry enough?
What makes a love?
Is honesty enough?

First time we met, a blazing fire
Night of the Goddess, flaming desire
You were the King of the Spring, you made me sing
When you made me your Queen

Then I was a healer, a thinker in China
You were my wayward warrior son
I sat like the lotus, would not be provoked
You hurled yourself into oblivion

After the slaughter, I was your daughter
Dancing in Paris after the war
It is 1953, and I am free as a bird
Beneath the wings of my protector

Lovers once more on the African shore
Drums woke us, the voodoo spoke to us
We drank it happily, rolled in ecstasy
One living entity breathing as two

And what makes a love?? / A hole in the clouds?

And when I look in your eyes I see lives behind lives beyond truth beyond space beyond time
And when I look in your eyes I see lives behind lives beyond truth beyond space beyond time
And I have loved you all through time
Your every breath is bound to mine
Our footsteps, intertwined
And death has no dominion

We are the children of creation
We shall not cease from exploration
We are the children of creation
And death has no dominion

And what makes a love?? / A hole in the clouds?

And words will never be enough
Words will never be enough
What could ever be enough
To remember this love?

Present imperative
Future subjunctive
Past Unconditional
Past Unconditional

And words will never be enough
What could ever be enough?
One life will never be enough
To remember this love?
