lyrics

In the castle wild, I roll on my back
Under skies by the ancient track
Hidden by ferns, her riches, my rags
She’s soft and so kind, hair shining black  
 
These ruined walls cloaked by ivy and weeds
Old and slighted, perfect for our needs
I know I’m history when the silken rope
Cuts my skin, pulls me close
 
Oh I loved her when she caught my eye in the shade of the tree
She smiles down and takes me (to our dreamland)
She smiles down and makes me (makes me understand)
And now I see (she’s the promised land)
 
Living sweet abandon, caught in our secret garden
Living sweet abandon, caught in our secret garden
 
And the wind blows in the wild, wild wood
And the wolf howls on this moonlit summer’s night
I’ll dance to your tune like I hunger for you now
So if music is the food of love, play on
 
Lying there naked, drifting in and out of reverie
As a mistral blows our minds across the land and sea
Where our love sleeps beneath the waves
Like trees crying leaves upon forgotten graves
 
We come back down under blood red skies
The light in her hair of Aine’s sunrise
A world without end comes, then is gone
Lost in one another, we would never have known
 
Oh, how I loved her when she caught my eye in the shade of the tree
She smiles down and takes me (to our dreamland)
She smiles down and makes me (makes me understand)
And still I see (she’s the promised land)
 
Living sweet abandon, caught in our secret garden
Living sweet abandon, caught in our secret garden
  
What’s in your mind is all you can dream
And all that you try is there to achieve
When all that you hide is all you can be
Then what makes you blind is easy to see
 
Now I’ve found you I can’t let you go
I’ll be at your side for the rest of our lives
 
One moment of truth on one fine day
Defines who we are and the love we make
All that I know is the harvest you sow
 
Now I’m with you I can’t let you go
And on with the show into a future unknown
 
We think our lives are so full and so fine 
But you know the modern world’s put a veil on our minds
Out of touch and out of sight
So many things we don’t see anymore and so much we don’t feel
When paradise is a heaven on earth where you complete me
 
I believe in happy endings, I believe in fairy tales
I believe in knights in shining armour riding to the rescue
And that’s you...
