The Mysteries Of Love
Alphaville · First Harvest (Usa) [1992]
all i want is you, don't you know that
forever loving you, don't you know that it's true
i'm leaving you tonight but don't listen if they say
that we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
we cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
they put on us, my love
we're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
they never understand the mysteries of love
here's the mysteries of love
give your body to the mysteries
tear down your uniforms
here's the mysteries of love
all i want to be, don't you know it
all we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea
we kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile
'cross the iron borderline that butterflies despise
we cannot lose at all
breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
they'll never understand
the mysteries of love
forever loving you, don't you know that it's true
i'm leaving you tonight but don't listen if they say
that we'll never meet again in the land of make believe
we cannot lose the race, breaking the secret spells
they put on us, my love
we're far out of their reach, a million years ahead
they never understand the mysteries of love
here's the mysteries of love
give your body to the mysteries
tear down your uniforms
here's the mysteries of love
all i want to be, don't you know it
all we wanna be is free like the birds of the sea
we kiss the last good byes and are sailing with a smile
'cross the iron borderline that butterflies despise
we cannot lose at all
breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
they'll never understand
the mysteries of love
