Bryan Ferry

As it was
In the beginning
Before the darkness
And the fall
I lay my head
On your heartbeat
Cloaking the dagger
Of your soul

I want a love that s never ending
Through all the thunder and the rain
But there s no sense in pretending
I know I ll never fall in love again

What if you wake up
One morning
And you re living in a world
That s hard to face
What if the good times
Turn to sorrow
What if a stranger
Takes your place

We ll cling
Together
In the moonlight
Burning the river
Into gold
Count all the minutes
Then the hours
Until your heart turns cold
