for how long can you love?

can you count the days of eternity?
can you trust the moonbeams to watch you at night?
can you hear the faint song of the sirens?
tell me, for how long can you love?

can you escape the ghosts of your past?
can you seek solace in your dreams?
can you pacify the disquiet in your spirit?
my dear, for how long can you love?

can you tell the extent of a shoreless mystery?
can you sing a song you never heard?
can you hear the thin whisper of silence?
let me know, for how long can you love?

can you feel the strength i bear for you?
can you see my tears for your pain?
can you hear the words i long to say?
for how long my dear,
for how long can you love?
