Elizabeth

Ships come and go in the maze of wind

That lifts and sinks dreams like waves chasing each other

Elizabeth, look around you now

There’s still a ray of light, a swallow is still flying

Seekers in long caravans among the dunes

Are still searching for Atlantis

They cross the Highlands without looking back

To not have to weigh gain and loss

We too, like everybody else

Walking along the rough roads of Babylon

Love passes like swirling rivers

Or in slow, flat and safe waters

Hanging from the wood like a castaway

Between storms, high waves and winds

Elizabeth

This is love, is the only love I know

Elizabeth

This is love, is the only love I know

I’ll never track you down

For you are illusion, Moon and tide

You’re on the front of the trade winds

You are the rain, you are the rain

You come from afar

And maybe you dream of the scents of jasmine

Or when you were a queen of the islands

Risen from the oceans like sirens, like sirens

In the Indies never found, in the Indies never found

Elizabeth

You come from afar, you come from afar

We cannot suspend the sky

We can’t slow the Sun down

But there’s still a ray of light

Some swallows are still in flight

Some swallows are still in flight

Elizabeth

Love passes like swirling rivers

Or in slow, flat and safe waters

Hanging from the wood like a castaway

Between storms, high waves and winds

Elizabeth

This is love, is the only love I know

Elizabeth

This is love, is the only love I know
