There was once a love in my sight
Yes, undaunted love from a side,
There were roses and clovers
But now we are only loners.
'Tis such fate, a foreseeable fate
In which is understood not
The love that's not answered but rather
That which makes you last.

And so it goes then, we loved
I loved indeed, she loved as well,
A love that shines through all
A love that as wine aged.
Yes, yes, such love I recall
Beautiful it was, yes awe-inspiring,
Nearly it broke my heart
When such love was left all stranded.

But this new love is never aging
Forever young, forever supple
Yes, forever changing, yet unmoving
Never leaving, always touching.
So with this new love I'm armoured
I'm covered and protected,
Never to be hurt again,
For she is come, everlasting.
