Come with me, quietly, I have got something you need to see
Standing alone in the garden under an olive tree
Eyes made of emeralds, skin made of ice that you cannot touch
Oh and her name is sweet nothing cause nothing matters much
And there is no key to this lonely door
So we can no more stay here
They say take what you want and pay for it; I do
They say learn from your mistakes and I learn from you
Time after time wondering if I’m crazy
But even Atlas couldn’t hold every corner of the world and find it easy
Butterfly kisses, caresses that glitter like Christmas lights
Tears are smaller than insects, bigger than ocean tides
Indigo shadows at windows, whispers of might have beens
Lost in the heavens like helium balloons are my dreams
I sometimes think that without your hand
I would not have my head
They say take what you want and pay for it, so I do
They say learn from your mistakes and I try to
Time after time I’m wondering if I’m crazy
But even Atlas couldn’t hold every corner of the world and find it easy
Seasons are slow watercolours that go in an endless wheel
I am just joining invisible dots to make them real
Come with me, be with me, make me make sense of a nonsense place
Let’s go away from this garden and into another space
There is so much more to try to prove
There is so much more to love
They say take what you want and pay for it, so I do
They say learn from your mistakes and I learn from you
Time after time I’m wondering if I’m crazy
But even Atlas couldn’t hold every corner of the world and find it easy
