  • Walking through the streets we knew
    I felt that you were near
    I walked on to a quiet place
    The better I could hear

    I stopped and knew that you were there
    I didn't turn to see
    I felt that if I did my dear
    The spell would break on me

    I'm driving though the land we knew
    To find that sacred ground
    Where moonlight on the innocence
    Wildest dreams were found

    We lay there all the break of day
    Lovers me and you
    I had to give my heart away
    What else could I do?

    Love for us was living
    Dreams that we were dreaming
    Life was just beginning
    Love that we were living

    Like ghosts that haunt the mansions where
    Their hidden treasures lay
    I know we'll be together on
    That perfumed sultry day

    Aligned in true magnificence
    The moon and stars and sun
    The cards, the cups, the portents tell
    When all is said and done

    I know that we're the lucky ones
    Like angels we can fly
    In days of future symphonies
    The golden years went by

    The splendour of the ancient @mes
    Once was bourne to me
    But we were so in love back then
    We simply couldn't see

    That love for us was living
    Dreams that we were dreaming
    Life was jus beginning
    Love that we were living
    I'm driving through the land we knew
    To find that sacred ground
    Where moonlight on the innocent
    Wildest Dreams were found
    We lay there all the break of day
    Lovers me and you
    I had to give my heart away
    What else could I do?
    Cos love for us was living
    Dreams that we were dreaming
    Life was just beginning
    Love that we were living Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
