Sanctuary
Intro.
This is about euthanasia and the early days of AIDS when it seemed there was no hope.
Lyrics
You've been looking a little pale
lately
and now we both know why
It only took one drunken party and a
dirty needle to end our play
You say you love me but can't face
the downhill slide and now you
feel so sad, ashamed and desperate
But my love for you goes beyond time
and distance, so i whisper gently in your ear
Let me take you far away where
we can swim with the dolphins
catch fish with our hands and travel
the seven oceans
We'll grow gills and webbed feet,
make love underwater
We'll learn to sing with the whales
and explore coral reefs
We can leave all our problems behind
no money, no religion, no ambition
just you, me and the deep blue sea
so,
Let me take you far away where
we can swim with the dolphins
catch fish with our hands and travel
the seven oceans
and so now i hold you in a bare embrace,
lying on our bed
as we slowly overdose, smiling at each other
knowing that the journeys just begun
and now we're far away
we swim with the dolphins
catch fish with our hands and travel
the seven oceans
