The End of Romance

On the hills behind the Dead Sea

There is a wonder

You were my love from the Holy City

And you were gonna take me there

But I had a change of heart

Now, years later

That wonder has become a symbol

A promise of a world that is safe

Because it isn't real

It is it's own dream

Like a destination without the journey

Or like a prize without the fight

It seems that this red rose rock

That I only know from pictures

Has been carved out of pure love

That I only know from books

And it outlives us

There in the valley

Being it's own timeless dream

Red and rose

Sometimes the truth is mild and simple

Not a flood or a big wave, just a ripple

So you stir it up

Cause for some reason

You want it to wash over you

The truth is

The memory of you fades

And the wonder, it's still there

Untouched, unseen

And stark as ever

Oh Stephany

Why do we always need a mystery

Why can't we see a little history

Before it's much too late

Oh Stephany

I'm only letting this wash over me

Before you fade away
