encounter

lyrics:Kleven music:Skagnes

"Do you believe in love?" he says,
doesn't meet her eyes
She lets her guard down, gets knocked out
by surprise
Falling leaves
flaming trees
at ease
And she can read the moon
the winter will come soon

"Do you believe in God?" he sighs,
lighting candles
Heavenly sensations make her faith
hard to handle
Falling deep
restless sleep
to keep
And she can read the moon
the winter will come soon
And she can hear the dark
ready to embark

"Do you believe in me?" he asks
from beyond somehwere
She turns to smile, a bit confused
But he's no longer there
Burning pain
falling rain
refrain
And she can read the moon
the winter will come soon
And she can feel the stars
tearing up her scars

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in God?
Did you believe in me?
Do you believe in anything?
