Turning back
Through the pages of time
I’m drawn towards you
And when you stole my mind
How is it
You always take me here
Where my virgin heart
Had no sense of fear
You washed over me
Like a raging tide
This can’t be natural
For a ten-year-old to hide
What strange feeling is this
Never been on this road before
No idea where it goes
But I find myself craving more
I’ve heard about love
Can it be I’m a victim
A casualty there of
In Love’s Recipe kitchen
I can’t help what happens
When I see you smile
The feeling that comes over me
I’ll be fine if it lasts awhile
And what am I to do
Now that you’ve taken my heart
Many years from now when I’m old and grey
I’ll remember this start
