"Love Over Six Centuries" lyrics - ELOY

I'll tell you who I am and whence I came
It's not going to be easy to explain
My body has returned, my mind is all at sea
Will you tell me who you are
And where we're meant to be?

She answers in a gentle lilting style
Says little but speaks volumes with a smile
With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand
'Come with me, I'll answer all I can'.

Dialogue:
Jamie: April, 1358...Paris...I don't understand any more...
my name is Jamie...and mine is a strange story...
one which even I don't fully understand...my father is a scientist...
and he has been experimenting with time-eroding drugs...
well, I was sitting in his work-room...
it was late at night...
and I was thinking...you know, about me and my future...
'cause I've just left school...and I don't know what I want to do...
I must have somehow taken the drug... and landed up here.

Jeanne: My name is Jeanne....let me tell you my story...
my father owns many acres around here...
which are farmed by peasants...whom he rules with an iron hand...
the neighbouring landlord's even worse...
and I'm supposed to marry his son...
that's not my choice... you know the saying: 'Like father, like son'.

Jamie: Well, I see we've both got our problems... perhaps we can help each other...
I've got something here....lots of my friends smoke it...
I don't suppose you know it...
try it, it helps at times like these...

Jeanne: Oh, what a beautiful feeling...
everything's shimmering in the twilight...
look at that sunset...I've never seen such colours before...
it all seems suspended in eternity... I wish moments like these would last forever...
I'm not worried any more...
what are you thinking?

Jamie: I can't think at the moment...let's just enjoy it.

Somehow we must stay together
Lifelong friend, my lifelong friend Love like ours will last forever
Never end, and never end
We'll somehow wipe away our fears
And find a way to bridge the years.
