FAITH

Whenever you look at me

I think I could fall in love with you

Whenever you talk to me

I think I could fall in love with you

Because your stormy, burning eyes

Could melt my ice armour, built with so many tears

And your deep, vibrant voice

Could shatter my armour of ice, the tears falling to the ground

Poisoning the flowers

Whenever you look at me

I might think that you love me

Whenever you talk to me

I might think you’re in love with me

And I will believe it, like a child in Christmas

I’ll believe your every word, defenseless without my armour

You will tell me about those rivers in China you want to show me

And about your life, so empty until you met me

You will tell me about the stars

You will tell me how different they look

Ever since you met me

You will tell me about that hidden place in the Island

That you discovered

And how it will be our haven, and how we’ll go there fighting the waves in our ship of red sails

A love like ours

Nobody knew

And you will tell me about the mountains in Nepal

That time you went there, the wonder

And how we’ll go together, riding the whitest horse, blending in the snow

And you will tell me about the sunsets in Kenya

So bright, so powerful their scent

That would not be the same

When I’ll be there with you

How you thought it was a fantasy, magical, unreal

And it was nothing

Until I was with you

And I will believe you, like a child in Christmas

I’ll believe your every word, defenseless without my armour

When you say you love me

And I will lose myself in you

And there will be only you

And I will see through your eyes, stormy, burning

And I will hear only your voice, deep, vibrant

And there will be nothing else

And I will give you my very self

My every thought will be for you

My only time will be with you

My every breath will come from you

I will believe you

When you tell me there are no longer rivers in China

There is no longer a hidden place in the Island

There are no longer mountains in Nepal

There are no longer sunsets in Kenya

No red sails, no white horses

All vanished, all ashes of a dream that will never be

And I will not see anymore, without your eyes (stormy, burning)

And I will not hear anymore, without your voice (deep, vibrant)

And you’ll give me back my own self, now so empty

And my every thought will be for you

And you’ll be no longer there

My only time will be with you

And you’ll never be there

My only breath will come from you

You only an absence

Do not look at me, my beloved

Do not talk to me, my life

Because I think I could fall in love with you
