As of me
As fire in hair
were you here

I could have been all you are,
all you were, and all you wanted to be
All dark thoughts would yield in our life
I should have loved you, should have given you my blood
And if you wanted, I would have lived for you

As of me
As fire in hair
were you here

I could have been all you are,
all you were, and all you wanted to be
Were there an eternity, then it was there for us
I should have seen you when the sun set in the sea
And if you wanted, I would have died for you

If I look back
at all that used to be
I feel what I felt and I know that no one
will ever come quite so close

As of me
As fire in hair
were you here

I could have been all you are,
all you were, and all you wanted to be
Time was to become a friend we both rediscovered
But when I see you leaving now, I want it to go with you
And erase the path we had set out upon
