Lyrics
How can i live in the places you take me? i have no direction; i'm lost as a child! but after i've tasted the nectar of heaven, i can't return to the wild. it's not like something that i ever thought of; it's something that came to me, out of a dream! your sweet perfection, and my own reflection; nectar of heaven it seemed. i did not look for, long for or know of, for lack of a language, i'll call it your love-l just saw the hawk fly through the nectar of heaven, and lay himself down by the dove. When I look back at my life of broken connections and scattered intentions, I'm so often confused; so I wrap my heart in this nectar of heaven, and lay it down here for the muse. I sit here watching the people around me, they're racing and running, still they never move: then I see the hawk move through the nectar of heaven; he's flying away with the dove! I do not know now what will be the harvest, the fruits and the flowers from these seeds we have sown; but take from this moment, sweet nectar of heaven, all that you need for your own. How can I live in the places you take me, I have no direction, I'm lost as a child; but after I've tasted the sweet nectar of heaven - I'll not return.
