So warm is my morning sun, red is my rainbow
Soft is the cool summer breeze when I saw your face
I saw the light in your eyes so dark and demanding
Like a light in the storm

Whenever I cry my friend
You’re always away and so I pretend
If I could live the dreams that I see
Long live my love

Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)
I’ll never belong to someone again
Living my whole life through
Long live my love for you

My life has meaning now, I am a window
And all things seem clear to me now
Like a light in the storm

Whenever I cry my friend
You’re always away and so I pretend
If I could live the dreams that I see
Long live my love

Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)
I’ll never belong to someone again
Living my whole life through
Long live my love

Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)
I’ll never belong to someone again
Living my whole life through
Long live my love for you
