| FORBIDDENYou and I, we long for things forbiddenWe long for love that never can be givenWe yearn for dances in the dark of nightAnd feel the lure of love kept out of sight.You and I, we need what's not concededWe've heard the warnings our ears never heededAnd yet, our hearts, so lost in love's demandsFell into love and took it from our hands.You and I, we live in simulationOf life and breath, yet live in stimulationOf passing glance and touch of fingertipsAnd yearn in vain for brush of tender lips.You and I, we pass on crowded streetsSurreptitiously, maneuver there to meetTouch of hand and sigh and catch of breathAnd then are whisked away to lover's death.How long will this go on, I cannot saySo many years now, we have lived this waySo many nights we've cried until the dawnAnd held to hope though hope in hope has gone.You and I, ofblood and creed apartWe feel no difference, bonded in our heartsWe see no ancient need to separateBut live in cruel abeyance to our fates.My love, my love, my soul, what must I do?My destiny was sealed when I saw youMy heart was given to that golden handAnd I became your woman, you, my man.You and I, are promised to the othersBut our two souls will never join another's Our hearts are melded into shape of one And so will be until our lives are done.So in the marketplace, we steal a lookYou drop a flower for me in a bookYou smile a smile that no one else will seeAnd in your way, I know you're loving me.My father meets your father in the squareAnd scowls, pretends, he doesn't see him thereAncestral feuds thrive through infinityAnd do not know they ended with you and me.You and I. I love to say those wordsI whisper to you knowing I shan't be heardI hold you close to me and stroke your hairOpen my eyes and see that you're not there.Tomorrow, you and I will meet, I knowAnd watch till out of sight, then we must goMy father's hand will pull me from your pathBut through our tears, in silence, we will laugh. |
