[Verse 1] I met her on a market street, in the heart of old Bruxelles She wore a habit and a heavy hood that hid her body well But when our eyes met in the crowd, I swear the world stood still A spark beneath the silence, a fire I couldn't kill [Pre-Chorus] She smiled like she knew something A secret she wouldn't tell Then turned and walked away from me Back to her sacred cell [Chorus β Male with soft children Choir] And I stood beneath her window Crying love into stained glass light She looked down, calm and holy Like an angel wrapped in night I loved her from a distance But her heart was not for mine She belonged to the heavens And I was left behind [Verse 2] She walked toward the cloister walls, I followed, far but near She knew I trailed her shadow steps, yet she showed no fear A glance behind, a second smile, then vanished through the gate And still I walked through sacred doors, a trespass led by fate [Pre-Chorus] She stood behind the window pane With colors all aglow She opened up the glass to me And whispered soft and low [Chorus β Male with soft children Choir] And I stood beneath her window Crying love into stained glass light She looked down, calm and holy Like an angel wrapped in night I loved her from a distance But her soul was not for mine She belonged to the heavens And I was left behind [Bridge β Solo + Choir echoes] (Oh I... I loved her so...) But her vows were written high above (High above...) I couldnβt steal a nun from God (Not from God...) Still I waited there below (There below...) With a heart that couldnβt go [Final Chorus β soft Full Choir] Still I stood beneath her window Crying love into stained glass light And though she loved in silence She chose the holy right I kissed her through the distance Then turned and walked the line She belonged to the heavens And I was left behind
