New Model Army - 1 Living In The Rose lyrics

(Sullivan/Heaton)

The lovers they kiss and slowly they turn

For drawing a breath there is nothing but time

A thousand million years before we crash in the sun

And I know we will be still here in Her arms

In the thick black night we could lie in the grass

And gaze at the sky and watch the satellites pass

A thousand million miles the earth She will turn

Then still we will be here in Her arms

And if we could float away in our dreams

There's a city that waits under the sea

The days to pass living in the rose

The seeded land slow and old

The scented air heavy and warm

Whispers, touches . . .
