Ancient Love Lyrics by Mercury Rev

Born Horses

0

This ancient love of ours
Buried under moon and stars
Older than both space and time
Before fire was discovered
And the old sands covered
These desert winds reveal
This ancient love of ours
Was real
This ancient love of ours
Buried under moon and stars
Once held in these hands of mine
Beautiful, sacred and so alive
Long before the earth was cool
Before human bеings grew old and cruel
And life bеcame so overwhelming
Long before they drew a breath
You and I had no end
Long before they came to dig
I was on my knees to lift
Your fragile bones held in my hand
Would shatter in any other man’s
Covered by the sands of time
A golden age when you were mine
This ancient love of ours
Buried under moon and stars
Not even the faded ruins say
How long here you and I both lay
Even the wind, the sun and the sand
Can't recall a time before
This ancient love of ours began
This ancient love of ours
Buried under moon and stars
Beyond all space and time
Beautiful, sacred and so alive
These howling desert winds reveal
This ancient love of ours was real
[Instrumental Break]
