Little by little We share the Misty core of that mountain.

Its soul of enchantment.

Little by little, the darkness disappears from my life,

And fills my soul with love and light.

We dance, Spellbound.

I make love to you on the tombstone of lost moments.

When I run my fingers on you the mist watches over us.

Our lives tangled like snakes,

Beautiful like the mystic music that surrounds us.

I run my lips over yours as you run your fingers through my hair

And little by little you melt into me.

Your soul on mine and we

breath as one.

As we lay tangled together like earth and the roots.

The mist wraps us like a symphony

and the silence echoes in our love.

Little by little,

I open my eyes from the slumber ,

I find cigarette butts and an empty bottle of wine.
