When precious flesh is greedily consumed
Now that we know
But mystery is a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed
A statue with sightless eyes
Precious flesh is greedily consumed
Love like a phantom flies
Now that we loved
Now that the lonely nights are over
Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture
And once deceased not easily exhumed
Elusive as dreams
How do we make love stay?
Look at the moonless night and tell me
Barely remembered in the morning
Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture
The fire can burn bright or merely smolder
How do we make love stay?
It pales like the empty smile adorning
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
How do we keep it from dying away?
Now that we love
But held in the heart
