Lyrics
Your arms encircle me
They make a cradle in the night
Your voice assuring me
Everything will be all right
But as I look you fade away
And vanish from my sight
To a place where I can?t be
I am Orpheus to your Eurydice
What does it take
To come from darkness
Up to the light of life?
Can you cross
The river Styx when
The boat is burning bright?
Why were we
Banished from the
Garden of Delight
To a world
Without pity ?
As were Orpheus
And Eurydice?
Everywhere the chasm widens
And deepens every day
So many men and women
With nothing left to say
Caught between desire and fear
They go their separate ways
In the name of being free
Orpheus has lost his Eurydice
What does it take
To come from darkness
Up into the light of life?
Can you cross
The river Styx when
Your boat is burning bright?
Will we meet
Again in the Garden
Of Delight
The way that life
Was meant to be ?
For Orpheus
And his Eurydice?
