Lyrics Love Over Six Centuries - Eloy

Love Over Six Centuries

I’ll tell you who I am and whence I came
It’s not going to be easy to explain
My body has returned, my mind is all at sea
Will you tell me who you are
And where we’re meant to be?
She answers in a gentle lilting style
Says little but speaks volumes with a smile
With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand
«Come with me, I’ll answer all I can»
Dialogue:
Jamie: April, 1358… Paris…I don’t understand any more
My name is Jamie… and mine is a strange story
One which even I don’t fully understand… my father is a scientist
And he’s been experimenting with time-eroding drugs
Well, I was sitting in his work-room
It was late at night
And I was thinking… you know, about me and my future
'Cause I’ve just left school… and I don’t know what I want to do
I must have somehow taken the drug… and landed up here
Jeanne: My name is Jeanne… let me tell you my story
My father owns many acres around here
Which are farmed by peasants… whom he rules with an iron hand
The neighbouring landlord’s even worse
And I’m supposed to marry his son
That’s not my choice… you know the saying: «Like father, like son»
Jamie: Well, I see we’ve both got our problems… perhaps we can help each other
I’ve got something here… lots of my friends smoke it
I don’t suppose you know it
Try it, it helps at times like these
Jeanne: Oh, what a beautiful feeling
Everything’s shimmering in the twilight
Look at that sunset… I've never seen such colours before
It all seems suspended in eternity… I wish moments like these would last
forever
I’m not worried anymore
What are you thinking?
Jamie: I can’t think at the moment… let's just enjoy it
Somehow we must stay together
Lifelong friend, my lifelong friend
Love like ours will last forever
Never end, and never end
We’ll somehow wipe away our fears
And find a way to bridge the years
