We took a ferry from the shore

To see our island once again

So beautiful to the eye that it hurt

We were the emperors

'Til the morning light

On the run from our king's call


I chain your heart

With words of truth

A vow for love and for pleasure

We got to deal our cards well

Take our chances when they come

Never let them slip away

Or deny them


I wanna wake up in the night

And listen to your breath

I wanna wake up for your love

In the morning

With a heart on fire for life life life

And a burning desire for more
