lyrics

You speak with such radiance,
You could make the left-footed dance,
But you throw out your wreath,

Your laugh's like the purest wine,
An olive tree, just black on white,
I'l never know quite what you mean,
I'll never understand how you're free,

You tip toe a stellar leap,
From present to the mystery,
And you know just when to stray,

You escort me through memories,
Of long-forgotten tragedies,
And let the wind take me away,
You know I'll never be the same,

Take me away, away, I said,
Take me away, away, I said,
And I never looked back,
You took me away, at last,

You run at devil speed,
An emotional monopoly,
Always scared of strength they might take,

Your life's liquid ecstasy
To sturdy those anxious knees,
And let the wind take you away,
I live in your trip, your mirror is stained,

Take me away, away, I said,
Take me away, away, I said,
And I never looked back,
You took me away, at last,
Take me away, away, I said,
Take me away, away, I said,
Take me away,
Take, take, take, take me away,
Take me away, away, away,

You walk on bitter feet,
But it's a long path to the end of me,
I wish I knew just how to say,

I crave your ways of honesty,
The wrong puzzle, but a fitting piece,
You still find your way back to me,
Tie me in your knots to set my heart free,
Cut off the chords so I can finally breathe,
Hold on tight, we sail at top speed,
Tonight, these thoughts mold into me,
