Nobody can see us
Here in the tall grass
Nobody wonders where we are
I laid me down beside you
We do hear motor cars
But they're far away
Time is all ours
Perhaps not eternity
Perhaps not eternity
But long enough for me
I watch the clouds drifting by
And think about the dent
Of our bodies next to each other
If we rise later on
Then it's gone
Yet we don't leave
We still lie there
For quite some time
Perhaps not eternity
Perhaps not eternity
What will stay in my memory
Month after month, year after year
Not the smile round your mouth
Not your hand, not your eyes
Not your T-shirt on the ground
But the plastic butterfly in your hair
Perhaps not eternity
Perhaps not eternity
Perhaps not eternity
Perhaps not eternity
Perhaps not eternity
But it's long enough for me
Nobody can see us
There in the tall grass
