The only promise (for Elena) (live in Brussels)

I saw you walking through the grey Like a sudden break of day Everyone else just faded out A whisper in a room of shout Cascading waves of blinding gold A story that was never told You stood there shining in the light And stole the darkness from my night We found a corner in the haze Two ghosts inside a wooden maze The jukebox humming something low We watched the minutes cease to flow... And then the table disappeared! The moment that I always feared Would never come, was finally here Your lips on mine, removing fear! Oh, the taste, a sweet mistake The only thirst I wanna slake Intoxicating, soft and deep A memory I swear I’ll keep! ​ The wooden booth, the sticky glass We let the heavy hours pass I watched your eyes, I watched your mouth The compass pointing further south No space between, no air to breathe I never wanted us to leave Just skin and heat and you and I Beneath a black and silent sky... ​ Time dissolved into the floor I don't know who I was before Five minutes or a century? You were the only thing to see THE GOLD AMIDST THE SMOKE! THE DREAM FROM WHICH I WOKE! Your lips on mine, the sweetest crush! A sudden silence in the rush! Oh, the taste, a wild design I can't believe that you were mine Intoxicating, soft and deep THE ONLY PROMISE I WILL KEEP! ​
