Loved him as life itself,
Loved him as life itself,
Yet he met me, a stranger's gaze,
Loved him as life itself.
Quenched my thirst, then slipped away,
Quenched my thirst, then slipped away,
His kindness, a playful jest,
Yet he met me, a stranger's gaze,
Loved him as life itself.
Who knew the night would deepen still?
Who knew the night would deepen still?
He met me, moonlight through a cloud,
Yet he met me, a stranger's gaze,
Loved him as life itself.
Never dreamt that he, for me,
Never dreamt that he, for me,
Would inflict wounds like the rest,
Would inflict wounds like the rest,
Yet he met me, a stranger's gaze,
Loved him as life itself,
Loved him as life itself,
Yet he met me, a stranger's gaze,
Loved him as life itself,
Loved him as life itself,
Loved him as life itself.
