these are the moments
timeless and pure
these are the moments I live for
throughout the silence
throughout the war
you were the one who I lived for
and if we were magic
and if we were not
we'd be no less tragic
nor passion less hot
we might not be stable
or safe or secure
but these are the times that we live for
a moment for angels
a so-loving kiss
way down in my soul, yes, I know this
a moment of passion
of sweet tenderness
and in that dear moment I've known bliss
and if we were magic
and if we were sane
we'd weather the tragic
like fools in the rain
we might not be sensible
safe or secure
but these are the times that we live for
and so lonely nights serve to blind me
in black darkness, you alone find me
and each kiss just serves to remind me
that I'm as much yours as if
your hand designed me
I see you through distance
call out your name
Two syllables spelled by a high flame
You come to me swiftly
each time it's the same
you hurry to stake out your own claim
and if we were magic
and if we were fools
we'd forsake the tragic
and make our own rules
we might not be stable
or safe or secure
but these are the times that we live for
