love can’t be yours

wading through the seven wonders of the world
I came to despise all things that were man’s
then I met what man couldn’t build
a man, I accept it, if he can then he can
cherry sweet and reddish wine
tastes like a heart beating pure air
do you feel the sense I feel as mine
can you taste the love I offer
clutching hold of a spirit hot
i knew its name had to be love
and it feels like nothing else I’ve got
i rode into the sun of the palace above
I’ve seen the sands fly past with time
and I’ve heard the waters of age on the shore
dying’s so real I think I felt mine
‘cause I know now this feeling of love can’t be yours
do you know what it’s like to walk free in the grass
and hear the sounds of ancients in the air
to live what was - not what will be
if it’s the past that I love then that’s where I’ll be
