Venus
Sólveig Matthildur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is like a work of art,
now that we are so far apart.
Desire me like Venus, let me fly
I wish that I could break away from you...
Life goes fast, but time so slow,
the worst part is we'll never know
if this was really something to hold on.
Circling on the orbit of the sun.
But l'll always be a star in your sky
Desire me like Venus, let me fly
I wish that I could break away from you...
Setting the west, just after dusk
or rising in the east, a bit before dawn.
I'm the salt in the water
I'm the salt in your tears.
That's where you find me.
l'll always be a star in your sky
Desire me like Venus, let me fly
I wish that I could break away from you...
