Worlds Apart |
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
I hold you in my arms, yeah that's when it starts
I seek faith in your kiss and comfort in your heart
Taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars
When I look into your eyes, here we stand worlds apart
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Where the distant oceans sing and rise to the plain
In this dry and troubled country your beauty remains
Down from the mountain roads where the highway rolls to dark
'Neath Allah's blessed rain we remain worlds apart
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Sometimes the truth just ain't enough or it's too much in times like this
Let's throw the truth away, we'll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in before the dead tear us apart
Li li li li li, li li li li li
Li li li li li, li li li li li
We'll let blood build a bridge over mountains draped in stars
I'll meet you on the ridge between these worlds apart
We've got this moment now to live, then it's all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives, let's let love gives what it gives
Let's let love gives what it gives
Let's let love gives what it gives
Let's let love gives what it gives
Let's let love gives what it gives
Let's let love gives what it gives
