A love so pure and so free

All I can do is follow the tide and go where this crazy ride take me 

I want to be a child that sieze each moment you see

and to have this world exactly as I want it to be 

 

On the yonder horizons I set my gaze

All I want is to go there with haste 

Wild and free, with no one to try to tame me 

 

Somewhere between here and the end of the world I will go

I will try to forgive myself and forget, try to push away my regret 

 

I wasn’t ready for a feeling that strong 

when it grabbed me by the throath and shook me to the core, it left my heart a wide open sore

 

You cannot see what you have done to me

But if you could you would smile and know 

that a lot of what I am I owe to you

I am a better person now and that is true  

 

Smoldering ember and flickering fire 

forever it will burn this funeral pyre 

Burn over a love so pure and so free 

it took the breath away from me
