Ancient Love
This ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars Older than both space and time Before fire was discovered and the old sands covered These desert winds reveal this ancient love of ours was real This ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars Once held in these hands of mine, beautiful, sacred, and so alive Long before the earth was cool, before human beings grew old and cruel And life became so overwhelming Long before they drew a breath, you and I had no end Long before they came to dig I was on my knees to lift Your fragile bones held in my hand which shatter in any other man's Covered by the sands of time, a golden age when you were mine Now this ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars Not even the faded ruins say how long here you and I both lay Even the wind, the sun, and the sand Can't recall the time before this ancient love of ours began This ancient love of ours buried under moon and stars Beyond all space and time, beautiful, sacred, and so alive These howling desert winds reveal this ancient love of ours Is real From Letras Mania
