If Eternity Never Comes

Lost like a feather in desert wind,

Till I found my symphony in thy eyes,

With those wild smiles I found my way home;

Into thine arms, in love I rise;

For if this day end before eternity;

Or If eternity never comes with thy sparks;

I will hold the sun and delve into immortality;

To remain by thy side beyond the tides and darks;

For if this day end before eternity;

One moment again I will ask every night;

With thee... O’ only with thee;

Before I melt away like a candle in the light;
