SUMMER
Elusive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two hearts, a secret place,
A frail tower holds my faith and love
When you are here.
In the gardens we waited long,
So lost and far from dawn, but you,
You are where with me.

When the waves are rolling high
Do you feel the same?
When darkness clouds the skies
I feel the pain so deep inside.

I will call you
To dream a summer
For the night to come.
Will you be my haven
For the night so long?
Give me dreams of summer
For the night to come.
Will you be my haven,
For the night is long?

Burning bright, dancing slow,
There's a tale still untold.
And you, you are here with me.
There's a room in the city of light.
Stole a kiss buying time,
And you, you're not here.

And the stake's been raised to high:
Do you feel the same?
When darkness clouds the light
I'm falling blinded here tonight.

I will call you
To dream a summer
For the night to come.
Will you be my haven
For the night so long?
Give me dreams of summer
For the night to come.
Will you be my haven,
For the night is long?

Two hearts, a secret place,
A frail tower holds my faith and love
When you are here.
In the gardens we waited long,
So lost and far from dawn, but you,
You are where with me.

When the waves are rolling high
Do you feel the same?
When darkness clouds the skies
I feel the pain so deep inside.

I will call you
To dream a summer
For the night to come.
Will you be my haven
For the night so long?
Give me dreams of summer
For the night to come.




Will you be my haven,
For the night is long?
