Free Until They Cut Me Down

If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you loved me?

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim, Until...

One day you'll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
In the moonlight and everything shatters
You feel as if you've known her all your life
The world's oldest lesson in history

[02:01.65]With a million dreams to fulfill
[02:05.27]And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
[02:10.44]Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
[02:16.11]Not a solitary thing do I fear
[02:20.03]Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
[02:26.04]
[02:28.86]Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
[02:32.81]Saddled up the moon and we would ride
[02:37.13]Until the stars grew dim
[02:42.72]Until the time that time stands still, Until...
