You sent your crack divisions though the early morning mist
When they fell on my positions, I was powerless to resist
Encircling and probing for the weakness in my line
By night I was surrounded, no territory mine
You called for my surrender, this I swore I'd never do
So you stormed the very fortress I'd built to protect me from you
Held me down upon my knees
And turned to give your thanks
To your regiments, assemble in their ranks
Where are they now?
You raised me up onto my feet, with your hand inside my own
We set off upon a journey, each together, each alone
In the days that followed our live did overlap
I learned the contours of your body like the roads upon a mad
You sweetened every evening, I savored every day
Just I was certain it would always be this way
You slipped beyond the reach of my outstretched finger tips
With all the kissed we placed upon your lips
Where are they know?
I went in search of alchemy to resurrect the dead
Sent my spies to fathom out the secrets in your head
They said they heard your laughter spinning through the summer night
In the company of strangers, and your eyes went wild and bright
Though I grew inclusive and my eyes became withdrawn
I held the banner of our love, now tattered and forlorn
I swore that one did in fly above us again
To do this, I had my reasons then
Perhaps there are some passions that temper with the years
You reach accommodation, the intensity receded
Some of this occurred to me the time I saw you last
Your face familiar in a way, your voice out of the past
Every gamut of emotion, form intensity to rage
Fell away between us in the turning of that page
Still it seems like only yesterday we swore that we'ed be true
And in my innocence
I believed you.
