Petra

about

Petra is about wanting to experience something and building up thoughts and images about what that experience is going to be like. It could be another person, or an event, or a place. The experience then exceeds all expectations, but it ends as quickly as it begins.

lyrics

I see you floating above the river

A beauty to behold

You speak to me with foreign words

Your secrets left untold



Your castle on the hill

Reaches high into the stars

I know that it’s a crazy dream

That someday iwill be ours



Petra are you hearing me

I’m still calling out to you



I came to see if you could be

Like the visions in my head



Our nights were spent together

Walking old town square

I wish it wasn’t ending

We have so much more to share



The saints will be there watching

Death will ring its bell

My eyes can’t look away from you

I remain under your spell



Petra are you seeing me

I’m still looking out for you




I came to see if you could be

Like the visions in my head

I thought that I could just say hello

But I fell in love instead


I woke at dawn and you were gone

I wish it wasn’t true

I can’t pretend it didn’t end

But I’m still in love with you


I came to see if you could be

Like the visions in my head

I thought that I could just say hello

But I fell in love instead


Now I see that we were meant to be

Something you already knew

I always thought I wanted to be free

But I'm still in love with you
