Song Lyrics

Twisting and turning beside the slumbering Tereza
He recalled something she had told him a long time before
In the course of an insignificant conversation
They had been talking about his friend Z, when she announced
"If I hadn't met you, I'd certainly have fallen in love with him"

Even then, her words had left Tomas in a strange state of melancholy
And now he realized it was only a matter of chance
That Tereza loved him and not his friend Z
Apart from her consummated love for Tomas, there were
In the realm of possibility, an infinite number of unconsummated loves for other men

We all reject out of hand the idea
That the love of our life may be something light or weightless
We presume our love is what must be
That without it our life would no longer be the same
We feel Beethoven himself
Gloomy and awe-inspiring
Is playing to our own great love

George Lesage Clarke Iv, Kerry Dylan Mccoy
