Ancient Love

This ancient love of ours

Buried under moon and stars

Older than both space and time

Before fire was discovered

And the old sands covered

These desert winds reveal

This ancient love of ours

Was real

This ancient love of ours

Buried under moon and stars

Once held in these hands of mine

Beautiful, sacred and so alive

Long before the earth was cool

Before human beings grew old and cruel

And life became so overwhelming

Long before they drew a breath

You and I had no end

Long before they came to dig

I was on my knees to lift

Your fragile bones held in my hand

Would shatter in any other man’s

Covered by the sands of time

A golden age when you were mine

This ancient love of ours

Buried under moon and stars

Not even the faded ruins say

How long here you and I both lay

Even the wind, the sun and the sand

Can't recall a time before

This ancient love of ours began

This ancient love of ours

Buried under moon and stars

Beyond all space and time

Beautiful, sacred and so alive

These howling desert winds reveal

This ancient love of ours was real
