| And we came through a | doorway some | where in the | night. |
| Her long flowing hair came softly undone in a pile all around. |
| And she brushed it down as I stood by her side in the warmth of her love. |
| And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin, |
| And we played a game only she could win. |
| And she told me a riddle I?ll never forget |
| And left with the answer I?ve never found yet. |
| ?How long,? said she, ?Can a moment like this belong to someone?? |
| ?What?s wrong, what is right? For to live or to die,? |
| ?We all must be born.? |
| So, if you should ask me what secrets I hide, |
| I?m only your lover, don?t make me decide! |

| And we played a game only she could win. |
| ANd our fingers entwined like ribbons of light |
| And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night. |
