lyrics

Hope takes me up
when I'm down
she gives me wings
so by her side I ride the currents of my life.

Lying on the fruit of her breast
if I could always feel the soft and swell
always awake in a sweet unrest
lying still so I can hear her breath
I'd live forever or fall to my death.

If I fall prey to her ascent
hope gentle and heaven and sent
in the perpetual movement of her dreams
I am content
I am in my element.

Lying on the fruit of her breast
if I could always feel the soft and swell
always awake in a sweet unrest
lying still so I can hear her breath
I'd live forever or fall to my death.
