Babylone

[Verse 1] Looking outside at the town passing by Helmut’s photographs shine from a book Josephine on the wall, satin nights in the hall And fifty years later I’m hooked It’s the power of two when the conquest was new Babylone in the first act of love It’s the romance of spring, it’s the king and his king It’s the promise to never give up [Chorus] Is it madness or genius we take to the grave? Does the world know the first from the last? I say beauty is real, it’s a force I can feel Not just something that diеd with the past [Post-Chorus] It leaves us brеathless with relief Beyond this prison of belief [Verse 2] Let me preach from a church built with my poor hands Rustic chandeliers, beechwood boards All your diamonds and rings, man they don’t mean a thing Here’s a paradise floating on words But you gave me a shelter, you gave me a room You gave me the fire to start As our branches they toil through this tough southern soil May they grow together not apart [Chorus] Is it madness or genius we take to the grave? Does the world know the first from the last? I say beauty is real, it’s a force I can feel Not just something that died with the past Can you tell me a story where love gets the glory And providence wins in the end? I will paint you a day not so far away Where the laughter runs rich once again [Post-Chorus] It leaves us breathless with relief Beyond this prison of belief (Belief) (Belief) [Verse 3] Looking outside at the town passing by I’m feeling the charge in my blood I don’t hate you, I love you, I want us to run through This moment and never give up
