[00:00.82]Spring it came upon us
[00:03.54]Every insect filled the air
[00:07.29]Dropped their wings upon my brother
[00:10.93]Cast their shadows on his hair
[00:14.68]If we follow where they're leading
[00:18.19]We will surely come before
[00:21.79]Some unseen and wondrous magic
[00:25.51]Made of visions to explore
[00:29.42]Near the town where we were living
[00:32.87]Was an old abandoned farm
[00:36.62]Every year we'd plant an orchid
[00:40.31]In the shelter of it's arm
[00:43.93]To protect us from the madness
[00:47.59]Of the future still to come
[00:51.15]It will be like this forever
[00:54.80]I will keep you safe from harm
[00:59.68]
[01:13.42]Then they caught us in the summer
[01:17.00]Dressed in fathers finest clothes
[01:20.39]You the hat he wore to market
[01:23.97]I the jacket filled with holes
[01:27.93]I've been searchins all these hours
[01:31.50]For a hand as pale as bone
[01:35.25]That would keep the strongest sunlight
[01:38.82]And reflect the brightest stone
[01:42.61]Near the town where we were living
[01:46.18]Was a warm and fragrant smell
[01:49.77]Of the orchid we had planted
[01:53.43]Now a forest tall and well
[01:57.06]What a statue to our greatness
[02:00.80]What a story all will tell
[02:04.42]They'll remember us forever
[02:08.03]They'll remember where we fell
[02:11.47]
[02:27.09]This old dark machine it shakes and it shudders
[02:30.89]Pulls to the left then dies near the gutter
[02:34.30]But still in the road the traffic is silent
[02:38.12]The people they stare and then they turn violent
[02:41.84]If they should touch the hem of your dress
[02:45.01]I would rise like a lion strike out again
[02:48.89]The faithful they wait the faithful they wait
[02:52.37]By the sign
[02:55.43]
[02:56.00]Near the town where we were living
[02:59.50]Came a loud and joyous sound
[03:03.05]As the earth and all her beauty
[03:06.87]Picked us up from off the ground
[03:10.57]Carried far across the mountain
[03:14.08]To a kingdom never bound
[03:17.61]We will live like this forever
[03:21.40]I will love you
[03:23.27]I will love you
[03:25.11]I will love you
