Suspended Disbelief

Lyrical selections from the Church Benches and Rain

Zili e Keqardhje

Do you remember the night
you lay in my bed and said
you'd never been happier in your life?
I said I hadn't been that happy in a long time.
It's the only time I ever lied to you.
I felt the same, I was just afraid
of giving myself away.

Your words echo...
"How sensual" you said,
"you made me feel like a whore,
you couldn't wait to get out of bed
to smoke your cigarette."
The pain lingers...
If I could have those moments back,
I'd have never left your side,
I'd have lost myself in you
making love again and again and again
and now...

I envy the breeze that caresses your cheek.
I envy the sunlight that dances on your skin.
I envy the water that touches every inch of you.
I envy the stars that watch over you as you sleep.

The day before our last night together
you said we'd have many more
and then many became just one.
I awoke in the morning,
reaching out for you
to find you'd left while I was sleeping.
In that emptiness unfulfilled
your ghost will never fade
and...

I envy the breeze that caresses your cheek.
I envy the sunlight that dances on your skin.
I envy the water that touches every inch of you.
I envy the stars that watch over you as you sleep.
