[Verse 1] In the realm where you were not quite good, I penned you As a river, flowing wild and free, I wrote you Not a man of virtue, yet I wrote you as the sea A flower not of this earth, I penned you beautifully [Chorus] You were not the light by the lamp, I wrote you as the sun And her, the moon, in the night, I penned you both to run [Verse 2] Not of the rose's scent, I penned you as a waterfall's grace Your words were poison, yet I wrote them as sweet lace [Chorus] You were not the effect, but the cause, I penned you in Shiraz's embrace [Bridge] In the moment of our meeting, I penned the world anew Every flaw, every feat, in you, I saw and wrote it true [Chorus] You were not the light by the lamp, I wrote you as the sun And her, the moon, in the night, I penned you both to run [Outro] In the book of life, you're written, a tale of love begun [End]
