(Verse 1) I listened far and wide for ways to erase you, They said this ain’t love, just cut it and break through. But my heart kept on singing, no mistake in the tune, You were the most beautiful lesson under the moon. A lesson of tenderness, fire burning so true, A lesson of passion, and the ache of adieu. (Pre-Chorus) I prayed for forgetting, cursed the empty bed, We are no more now… sometimes love leaves you dead. Yet for me you were promised land shining so bright, After the storm you brought endless light. (Chorus) After a great winter, you were my warmth, my flame, I don’t want a thing more, just to whisper your name. One huge and sincere… thank you… Thank you, thank you, oooo thank you. Thank you… thank you… oooo thank you. (Verse 2) Today I finally learned what love really means, For you it was one spark, for me the last dreams. It’s not just an experience—fuck it, the joy stays behind, Memories of how I loved you, wanted to die by your side. You gave me real hope, you gave human fire, A warmth in my bones that no cold can retire. (Pre-Chorus) I prayed and I cursed this eternal alone, There is no more “we”… love carves to the bone. But for me you were Canaan, the glow after rain, After long frozen nights, you thawed every pain. (Chorus) After a great winter, you were my warmth, my flame, I don’t want a thing more, just to whisper your name. One huge and sincere… thank you… Thank you, thank you, oooo thank you. Thank you… thank you… oooo thank you. [instrumental pause] (Final Chorus – building then gentle fade) After the storm you were light breaking through, After the winter, the warmth that got me to you. I prayed for the loneliness, but gratitude won, One huge and sincere… thank you… my only one. Thank you, thank you, oooo thank you… Thank you… thank you… forever thank you. (Outro – whispered, lingering) Thank you… oooo… thank you…
