| She was a tempest
|
| Her beauty a storm
|
| Oh her eyes they were filled with the sun
|
| She would dance while I played her my songs
|
| The earth stood while she danced alone
|
| He was a tempest
|
| His craving a storm
|
| He lusted her body from deep in the grove
|
| Enraptured or captured
|
| Betrayed or betrothed
|
| She would be his
|
| She’d be his alone
|
| So she ran, oh she ran from the satyr’s chase
|
| She ran for her love and her life
|
| She tred on a snake
|
| Venom replaced both the beat of her heart and the song in mine
|
| The beat of her heart and the song in mine
|
| The music was morning
|
| A requiem cry
|
| I wept with my songs for the love of my life
|
| It broke all the hearts of the gods in the skies
|
| I played my guitar and the earth opened wide
|
| How I played, oh I played in the underworld
|
| Oh, I played for my love and her life
|
| Oh, I pled with the gods
|
| Give her back
|
| Give a beat to her heart and a song to mine
|
| The beat of her heart and the song in mine
|
| Hades responded, a glint in his eye
|
| I grant you your plea
|
| You may leave with your wife
|
| With one small request
|
| I suggest you obey
|
| You musn’t look back as you walk away
|
| So we ran oh we ran to the dawning light
|
| Oh we ran for our love and our lives
|
| Once again I would hear the sweet sound of the beat of her heart
|
| And the song in mine
|
| The beat of her heart and the song in mine
|
| My mind was a tempest
|
| My doubt was a storm
|
| I turned back to see
|
| She really had come
|
| Just as our eyes met
|
| She faded from sight
|
| That’s when I knew I would never find
|
| The beat of her heart or the song in mine |
