Lyrics and translation
Original
In the arms of the one I love
Still seein' pictures of
Another from the future or the past
What's lost or waitin'
Troubled mind, let me rest
My life is full, my heart is blessed
And still you put me to the test
Of losin' and of gainin'
Angel come, take my hand
Hold me close, let me land
On my feet in the sand
With the wind around me ragin'
I've been too long behind these walls
Inside this house, ignorin' calls
And time moves like the water falls
Unrelentin', cascadin'
The trees on fire, the rivers flood
And all the banks are soaked in blood
A mirror makes a portrait draws the shadow
And the shadin'
The butterflies on the summer breeze
The wildflowers sway with ease
At the bridge of two infinities
What's been lost and what lies waitin'
Beauty speak to me
Let me know you, let me see
Myself inside your mystery
Through the crystal cage of agin'
Longin' to go back again
To be someone I've never been
I echo and I seek to win
Mournin' and celebratin'
Fastenin' so desperately
To vision and to memory
At the bridge of two infinities
What is formin', what is fadin'
Deep within the center of
The picture is the one I love
The eye behind the essence
Still unmovable, unchangin'
The eye behind the essence
Still unmovable, unchangin'
