Love is all cards to decipher
And long nights and days to learn
If I had a pen, I'd write you
If I were more creative, I'd draw you
On sheets of crystal to destroy
And watch out, if I had a knife to cut
But I had more judgement I wouldn't deny
That if I had a house, I'd welcome you
That if it rained, I'd give you shelter
That if there were shadows, I'd hide you in them
If I were a true traveller, I'd already have met you
And at every crossroad I'd greet you a thousand times
If I were a guardian, I'd look after you
If I were a hunter, I wouldn't chase you
If I were a priest, like a prayer,
I'd pronounce you with my tongue between my teeth
If I were a priest, like a secret psalm
I'd sing you with my hands over my mouth
If I had better arms, I'd contrict you
If I had better lips, I'd break you down
If I had a good mouth, I'd speak to you
If I had good words, I'd stop you
And I'd stop you on the corner of a street
I'd nail you to a random cross
And instead, like a burglar, like a killer
I come during the day to approach your path
To steal your pace, your pace and figure
And to love them at night when the sleep lasts
And to love you for hours, hours, hours
And to kill you with more love at dawn
And to love you for hours, hours, hours
And to kill you with more love at dawn
Because love is cards to decipher
And long nights and days to calculate
If love is all signs to be guess
Forgive me
If I haven't had the time to learn
If I haven't had the time
To learn
