When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns from the ivory city-side
Let the Magnet-Mages wave the signals, flashing oh so fast
Then you'll meet me there under the moonshine
In a lover's heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the Gardens of Delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight
In the stardust dawn underneath the crystal roofs
Where the solar boys are playing games they'll never lose
Where the sailors are swaying through the lightdomes shining from the skies
There you'll meet me darling, anyway
In a lover's heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the Gardens of Delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight
In a lover's heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the Gardens of Delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight
When the king returns from the ivory city-side
Let the Magnet-Mages wave the signals, flashing oh so fast
Then you'll meet me there under the moonshine
In a lover's heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the Gardens of Delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight
In the stardust dawn underneath the crystal roofs
Where the solar boys are playing games they'll never lose
Where the sailors are swaying through the lightdomes shining from the skies
There you'll meet me darling, anyway
In a lover's heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the Gardens of Delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight
In a lover's heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the Gardens of Delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight
