The Emerald Sea

Gary Hughes


This labyrinth before me
Lies steeped in ancient myth
Deep as any ocean and wide as an abyss
I'd give the earth to know you, my kingdom for a kiss
I will not give up on you, just remember this
Coz you know, whatever it takes
I will scream your thunder and I will never break
Don't you know, whatever it takes
I won't cast asunder, deny or hesitate...

CROSS THE MOONSTONE MOUNTAINS WITH THE SAPPHIRE PEAKS
THROUGH THE FIRE RED RUBIES IN THE DESERT HEAT
LIKE AN UNCUT DIAMOND FROM A GEMSTONE DREAM
IF YOU STILL WANT ME
I'LL CROSS THE EMERALD SEA

Too many unbelievers say, how can it exist?
But turn your back on love and denial is cowardice
I'd sacrifice to hold you, to linger on your lips
I can't fight a feeling that I cannot resist
And you know... Whatever it takes
I've got to be your lover, these ties could never break
Don't you know, whatever it takes
That which pulls me under will rise and levitate

(Chorus)

Sometimes it can feel like forever
But there's hope on this cold winter's night
Like a beacon, your heart shines a light
And as hell freezes over
Your fire melts the ice
