Admiration

(album: Monuments And Melodies - 2009)

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last

You speak in riddles
Your intentions turn me on
I'm yours forever
Will you love me when I'm gone?
When I'm gone
When I'm gone

You're an unfenced fire!
(When I'm gone)
Over walls we've trampled!
(When I'm gone)
It's you I admire!
(When I'm gone)
My living example

Your eyes are an undiscovered ocean far away
Any minute now keeping
Both poets and priests at bay
Don't get ahead of me
Could we just this once see eye to eye?
But you won't force me
Ask me how it feels to vie
To vie!

You're an unfenced fire!
(To vie)
Over walls we've trampled!
(To vie)
It's you I admire!
(To vie)
My living example

It's a photograph discovered a decade after
It's a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker
It's enough to bring a brick wall to its knees
And sing, please

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last

You're an unfenced fire!
(When I'm gone)
Over walls we've trampled!
(When I'm gone)
It's you I admire!
(When I'm gone)
My living example
