You take me here from far Up to the highest star You took a part of me No one else will ever see And if I gave away What I'm dying to say I couldn't give you more than this I was born and it was bliss I have died for a thousand years Tasted salt of a thousand tears And your kiss was almost gold You took me near you took me far, Up to the highest brightest star You're giving back the exchange, We got something going on And if I ever fell from grace With every living human state Well I throw the whole thing down And I take to higher ground Cast a spell on my surround Time to think on what I found This is almost gold
