Take me through the centuries to supersonic years Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears All I have to give you is a love that never dies The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes Mother moon she's calling me back to her silver womb Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb Seven hundredth unicorn is waiting in the skies A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years With our love we'll ride away into eternal skies A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies Woman child of love's creation, come and step inside my dreams In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above We'll find happiness together in the summer skies of love
