waited a hundred years to see your face
and i would wait a hundred more
if only to be near you
to have you and to hear you
isn't that what time is for?

i sailed a thousand ships in search of you
traveled to distant lands
dove for sunken gold i
took what i could hold but you're
still the greatest treasure i've held in my hands

my love
the reason i survive [bad word] we'll be together soon
should our fire turn to dark
take my heart with you

a tattered photograph my pocket holds
i keep you secretly
i've studied every line you're
etched upon my mind for
not a million soldiers could take you from me

my love
the reason i survive [bad word] we'll be together soon
should our fire turn to dark
take my heart with you

my love
the reason i survive
take my heart with you
take my heart with you
