View of a pearl strung bridge
Our life floated in the air
You in my arms
Wrapped so close
You and your dad and me
Just for a moment
Hovering high above the world
So sweet
The moon
Was our shield
The stars
Kept us safe
Since the day that you were born
You’ve been my outside heart
Roaming free
Our circus in the sky
Moon drenched river guarding us
From all the bullets
Flying by
The moon
Was our shield
The stars
Kept us safe
Since the day that you were born
You’ve been my outside heart
Roaming free
Roaming free
Roaming free
Ellen C Kaye – Lyrics
