Midnight Swell-Declan De Barra

Lightning ripped and clothes were torn Cast down onto a glistening sand below As the shouts and the calls from the village that spurned them Now burned them at their moonlit backs A gentle touch on each others face That was the only truth that either would obey A smiling nod and a tear was felt As they embrace for one last time this day The sound of baying crowds barking closer as torchlight crossed the beach No more would words curse them, forever more out of reach And they crashed through midnight waves and they basked in the full moon's rays Hand in hand over lilting swells, far from an angry shore And they sang « we don't give a damn, about your gods or your rules, No man or god will ever know, what we feel to be true » They say « the love we have will see us burn in hell. But hell is our hearts apart so we strike out through the swell » She sang « My love for love will never fade away. It will burn as the sun in the heart of the day » She replied « A stor, you have my heart. No more will they beat us or keep us apart. The only words I'll listen to is the singing of your heart. Run with me tonight and we'll leave this all behind » And the stars sing sweetly for the lovers pounding hearts As they closed their eyes and sank beneath the pitching dark And in the fading lights they kissed into the depths they swayed Their bones in peace would lie together to the end of days And they sang « we don't give a damn, about your gods or your rules, No man or god will ever know, what we feel to be true » They say « the love we have will see us burn in hell. But hell is our hearts apart so we strike out through the swell » She sang « My love for love will never fade away. It will burn as the sun in the heart of the day » She replied « A stor, you have my heart. No more will they beat us or keep us apart. The only words I'll listen to is the singing of your heart. Run with me tonight and we'll leave this all behind » And they sang « we don't give a damn, about your gods or your rules, No man or god will ever know, what we feel to be true » They say « the love we have will see us burn in hell. But hell is our hearts apart so we strike out through the swell »
