When the moon is full what happens to starlight Does it flicker and fade in the brightness of the being Love is a seed, strong as a birthright Love is the deepest ocean when I bleed Chorus And what would it take for us to be lovers And when you wake up will you see heaven Whatever denial was ever so fanciful That’ll make lovers of us all Between hair and brow as between land and sea In the light as it falls upon his jawline I put out my hand like a poor refugee To the sands of some fine and foreign shore So I put out my hand like a poor refugee To the sands of that fine and foreign shoreline Love is my need for disillusion Love is the deepest ocean when I bleed And what would it take for us to live freely For we are wrapped in the skins of those before us I put out my hand against retribution To the sands of that fine and foreign shore Chorus 2 And what would it take for us to be lovers For you to create instead of destruction Of everything beautiful, instead of the bombs that fall What’ll make lovers of us all
