Songtext zu 'Forever Hold' von Turner Cody

If I am lying in pleasure,
Where we met by the light of the moon,
To float down the widest river,
To arrive in the finest room,
Then keep me on the tether there,
Where graces wide are strewn,
And hold me to the letter there,
That all is gone so soon.
It was out in the dust of the evening,
Where the water flows from the rock,
That we met with the greatest pleasure,
On the dunes of ten o'clock,
And now you're face is the sunshine
That feeds the leaves of these eyes,
And now your arm is the river vine,
That pulls these limbs from the tide.

I'll forever hold to you I will,
And when I am cold I hold you still.

If ever there were demons,
There are demons to be sure,
I think that I can see them,
Coming right up to the door.
And if I only dream them,
Let me leave them to recite
Whatever oath's between them
And the skeletons of night.
And if that oath I'm under,
And I mumble it like a fiend,
Then break me from their number,
And take me from the scene,
And love me like you loved me
When you loved me in Spring,
And mine will be the memory,
Whose future you'll redeem.

(Chorus)

If I am lazy in splendor,
And whistling a tune,
With my feet up on the leather
Of the hide of a Mydas tomb.
Then do me one the better there,
And break my bed of doom,
And make your own a bed of stone,
As a bride for a wide-eyed groom.
And it will be my purpose
To answer when you cry,
And if true love deserve us,
Then blessed be you and I.
And ever-after seldom,
Will a tear fall from your eye,
And when they ask I'll tell them,
That I loved you, when I die.

(Chorus)
