Lyrics

Gossamer

Picture yourself in a magical place
Sailing beyond every boundary of time and space
Bathed in silk starlight
Heaven remains on a mystery flight

But love is like gossamer
Flying away from you now
Love the impossible
Lying in waste falling down
Love is like gossamer

You are the sum of your pleasure and pain
And all you believe at the end of the given day
But the well?s run dry
I know a way to make everything right

But love is like gossamer
Flying away from you now
Love the impossible
Trapping your prey for you now
Love is like gossamer

But where there?s a hill there?s a plain
Don?t be afraid to try
We?ll lead the way tonight

Think of yourself on a journey to find
All of your soul that you gave when the earth was kind
Such an eerie charm
I?ll stand beside you and keep you from harm

And love is like gossamer
Flying away from you now
Love the impossible
Lying in waste falling down
Love is like gossamer

And we?ll lead the way tonight
Through this haze and this ghostly light
We?ll light the flame tonight
Reflections of you and me say

We are the sum of our pleasure and pain
And all we believe at the end of the given day?
