[Intro — Deep Male Spoken, Close Mic] Mmmm… I kept the photograph. You kept the rain. We called it love… Did we remember the same? Hmmm… Who was right? Who was wrong? Maybe we asked the wrong question For far too long. [Instant Hook — Female, Male Replies] Turn, my heart! Turn, my heart! Were we dancing… Or falling apart? Turn, my heart! Let it rain! Different rivers… Same old rain! [Beat Drops — Both] Love, love, love! What did you think love was? One glance? A lifetime? A flame you could lock inside? Turn, turn, turn! Let the locked door swing! You can hold a thousand keys And still not let somebody in! [Verse 1 — Rhythmic Male, Female Echoes] You threaded golden days like pearls, I wore the storm beneath my shirt. You made one kiss a monument, I made a country out of hurt. Memory came with silver shears, Cut every shadow from the frame. You kept the face that made you smile, I kept the mouth that spoke my name. [Female Whisper] And all the things we never said? [Male] Still walking circles Round the bed. [Pre-Chorus — Rising Bass] I said, “I gave you everything!” [Female] But did you hear what I asked for? [Male] I built a palace in the clouds… [Female] I needed footsteps at my door. [Drop — Full Groove, Both] Turn, my heart! Turn, my heart! Were we dancing… Or falling apart? Love has no ledger! Love keeps no score! What good is a palace If we meet outside the door? [Post-Chorus — Vocal Chops] A little you! A little me! A little room For who we could be! A little truth! A little rain! Say it differently— Let me hear it again! [Verse 2 — Playful Blues Male] I brought a bridge of solid gold, You had a wooden boat in mind. I offered oceans in a bowl, You wanted water, clear and kind. You sent a sky of shooting stars, I needed one warm evening home. We mailed our hearts to distant worlds And wondered why we slept alone. [Female — Warm, Clear] Maybe we weren’t empty-handed. Maybe we just couldn’t see… You were giving what you dreamed of. Was that what you heard from me? [Male Spoken — Bass Continues] Hmmm… Love’s arithmetic… Two full hands. An empty table. How did we manage that? [Hook — Female Lead] Ask, ask, ask! What does your love need? Hear, hear, hear! Let the answer breathe! Give, give, give! But leave some room to learn! You can feed a fire all night And never feel it burn! [Instrumental — Electric Saz and Baritone Sax Battle] [Verse 3 — Male Storytelling] A woodcutter came down the mountain, A fisherman came from the foam. One brought winter on his shoulders, One brought supper safely home. “I brought my forest,” said the first. “I thought you knew,” the other sighed. The fish lay cold beside the fire. The wood stayed stacked outside. [Female] Could you help me light it? [Male] Could you show me what to do? [Female] Put the kettle on beside it… [Both] There is room enough for two! [Break — One Bendir Pulse, Deep Male] For once… Nobody made a speech. [Female Whisper] Somebody pulled a chair closer. [Massive Drop — Both] You are the forest!
