Elephant

They say when a door closes
A million others open
They say when you lose a lover
That soon there will come another

What if it was you
The one I'd go back to

Realizing what you had
Once it all shatters on the sand
You remember the very first
The second as well as the third

You're the one, the only one
I'm as certain as the sun

Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant

Corridors and their corners
Accomplices of romance
You look at a sky of chances
Wondering how to fit in there

What if it was you
The one I'd go back to

The point of your legacy
Is in the little things
You hope you left them with
If they decide to leave

Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant
Lay with me
Through this song, sing along
It's loud and unconditional

Lie to me tenderly...
To let me be your kin...
Lie to me gradually...
To let years win the fear...

Lie to me tenderly only in order
To let me be your kin or even bolder
Lie to me gradually only in order
To let years win the fear of getting older

Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant
Lay with me
Through this song, sing along
It's loud and unconditional

Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant
