Asaf Avidan - אסף אבידן
To Love Another
She tilted down her head
And brushed her hair aside
And lifted up that holy gaze
Beneath her eyelids
Her beating lashes were the witnesses
That heared every single word she wouldn't say but I did
And when her lips came back to touch after a smile
She pressed them way to hard
So they would reconcile
Her colour darkened to a red of every blood of every dead
That ever dare to love another
To love another
She pulled her head aside and when she brought it back
I swear a little broken girl was in her body
And as a prophecy when tripling down her cheek
She said: 'Don't you think to fall is just a study'
And when the star upon her lip was glued to mine
All of the stars in all the skies had to aligne
And then we both just disappear
In every hope, in every fear
Of what it means to love another
To love another
Another day was passing in her eyes
I realize she never said 'I love you' in the morning
But as I watch the sunset in her gaze
There is a haze of night that doesn't want to be the warning
And when she parts her lips to wet them with her tongue
They bear the weight of every word of every song
And I am left there in that chair
Without a clue, without a care
Insisting I could love another
I could love another
Her eyes were searching in my soul
I asked her what it is she saw
She answered only with her silence
But then she took a pen
And drew an entire ocean made of glue
And it is fallen words to island
And through her lips I felt the beating of her heart
I name the upperlip the end the lowerlip to start
I said I never let them touch
I want to open them so much
We'll never stop to love another
To love another
And through her lips I felt the beating of her heart
I name the upperlip the end the lowerlip to start
I said I never let them touch
I want to open them so much
We'll never stop to love another
We could love another
