Lyrics Her voice - Ketil Bjørnstad

Her voice

the wild bee reels from bough to bough
with his furry coat and his gauzy wing
now in a lily-cup and now
setting a jacinth bell a-swing
in his wandering
in his wandering
sit closer love it was here i trow
i made that vow
sit closer love it was here i trow
i made that vow
i swor that two lives should be like one
as long as the sea-gull loved the sea
as long as the sunflower sought the sun
it shall be i said for eternity
twixt you and me
twixt you and me
dear friend those times are over and done
love’s web is spun
my friend those times are over and done
love’s web is spun
look upward where the white gull screams
what does it see that we do not see?
is that a star?
or the lamp that gleams
on some outward voyaging argosy
oh!
can it be
oh!
can it be
we have lived our lives in a land of dreams
how sad it seems
we have lived our lives in a land of dreams
how sad it seems
and there is nothing left to do
but to kiss again, once again and part
no there is nothing we should rue
i have my beauty — you your art
no do not start
no do not start
one world was not enough for two
like me and you
one world was not enough for two
like me and you
