Before time
Before knowing
Not yet walking
Not yet growing
All was calm
I knew no want
Captured only by a single thought
"Hey Lover"
After I cried
And lost my brother
After the silence taught me loneliness
An ancient pain has made me shudder
And still I long to hear it once again:
"Hey Lover, Hey Lover"
Before regret
Before mistakes
Before the bitter toll that breathing takes
I was alive
But now I'm dying
I gather bruises from the trying
Oh I miss our union
I miss our union
Hey Lover
Hey Lover
Hey Lover
Let there be no other
After the game
After technique
I find my way a thousand kisses deep
Back to the door
The ancient gates
I stumble through to Whom my soul awaits
Only the hear
Sung loud and clear
At my returning
The old reprise:
"Hey Lover"
