ARE YOU HERE, LOVE

CAN YOU HEAR ME

ARE YOU REACHING OUT TO ME AS I AM YOU

IS THAT YOUR VOICE I HEAR WHISPERING

OR JUST THE STRANGE AND HAUNTING MURMURS OF THE SEA

IS THAT YOUR HAND PRESSED IN MY HAND

WITH SUCH TENDERNESS IT BIDS ME TO BE STRONG

OR AM I ONLY JUST PRETENDING

SO THAT I CAN FIND THE COURAGE TO GO ON?

IS THAT YOU, LOVE

I FEEL NEAR ME

IS IT YOUR FINGERTIPS THAT BRUSH AGAINST MY SKIN

IS THAT YOUR MOUTH SOFT ON MY MOUTH

OR JUST THE BREATH OF STARDUST CARRIED BY THE WIND

ARE THEY YOUR EYES GAZING ON ME

WITH SUCH CERTAINTY THEY BID ME TO BE STRONG

OR AM I ONLY JUST PRETENDING

SO THAT I CAN FIND THE COURAGE TO GO ON?

FOR ALL AROUND I HEAR THE SOUND, THE ANCIENT VOICES

THEY SING TO ME OF MYSTERY THAT NEVER DIES

BEFORE WE CAME IT WAS THE SAME AND EVER AFTER

THERE IS A LOVE THAT HOLDS US EVER IN ITS FLAME

ARE YOU HERE, LOVE

ARE YOU WITH ME

ARE YOU HOLDING ME THE WAY YOU USED TO DO

ARE THEY YOUR ARMS WRAPPED AROUND ME

OR JUST THE TENDRILS OF THE MERCY OF THE MOON

IS THAT YOUR FACE SHINING ON ME

WITH SUCH WIZARDRY IT BIDS ME TO BE STRONG

OR AM I ONLY JUST PRETENDING

SO THAT I CAN FIND THE COURAGE TO GO ON?

FOR ALL AROUND I HEAR THE SOUND, THE ANCIENT VOICES

THEY SING TO ME OF MYSTERY THAT NEVER DIES

BEFORE WE CAME IT WAS THE SAME AND EVER AFTER

THERE IS A LOVE THAT HOLDS US EVER IN ITS FLAME

ARE YOU HERE, LOVE

ARE YOU HERE?
