Ships come and go in the maze of wind
That lifts and sinks dreams like waves chasing each other
Elizabeth, look around you now
There’s still a ray of light, a swallow is still flying

Seekers in long caravans among the dunes
Are still searching for Atlantis
They cross the Highlands without looking back
To not have to weigh gain and loss

We too, like everybody else
Walking along the rough roads of Babylon

Love passes like swirling rivers
Or in slow, flat and safe waters
Hanging from the wood like a castaway
Between storms, high waves and winds

Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know
Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know

I’ll never track you down
For you are illusion, Moon and tide
You’re on the front of the trade winds
You are the rain, you are the rain
You come from afar

And maybe you dream of the scents of jasmine
Or when you were a queen of the islands

Risen from the oceans like sirens, like sirens
In the Indies never found, in the Indies never found
Elizabeth
You come from afar, you come from afar

We cannot suspend the sky
We can’t slow the Sun down
But there’s still a ray of light
Some swallows are still in flight
Some swallows are still in flight

Elizabeth

Love passes like swirling rivers
Or in slow, flat and safe waters
Hanging from the wood like a castaway
Between storms, high waves and winds

Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know
Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know
