I slept sweetly unpretending
That the night was always ending
She breathed lightly right next to me
And I dreamed of her inside of me
And in my dream she sang so sweetly´
A melody I hope to sing
So enslaved by her sweet wonder
It cut my legs and fingered hunger
She sang my name and so engulfed
I cried and felt my legs fail
In her arms I trembled electric
Oh and she let me and she held me
Then waking she was older still
And holds my love against its will
In spell cast with her palms extended
Cursed love is never ending
Cursed eyes are never closing
Cursed arms are never closing
Cursed children never rising
And cursed me never despising
Oh I am loving always holding
While she sleeps her song enfolding
Epic song it tells of how
She and I are living now
Cursed love
Cursed love
Cursed love
