Letra
The boy had a way with words, he sang,

He moved with grace, he entertained

So naturally,

No gesture out of place

His road in life was clearly drawn,

He didn't hesitate

He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of

As the master of his fate

The girl had an iron soul

No-one could recognize

Material ambition

That her gentleness disguised

She gave herself to him

Certain of his fame

Wanted him for luxury

For limelight and his name

And then he sang to her

I love you

For your silence

I love you

For your peace

The still and calm releases

That sweep into my soul

That slowly take control

I love you

For your passion

I love you

For your fire

The violent desire

That burns me in it's flame

A love I dare not name

Yeah,

He grew into the part

His explanation simply

That he suffered for his art

No base considerations of

Some glittering reward

The prize was knowing that

His work

was noticed and adored

Hey

Yes I love you

For your silence

I love you for

Your peace

The still and calm releases

That sweep into my soul, ohh

And slowly slowly takes control

He told the truth

Accepting every honor with

a masterly display

Of well rehearsed reluctance

to be singled out this way

He started to believe

that he was all they said and more

She forgot, she forgot

The reasons

She had wanted him before

Yeah

I love you

For your passion

I love you for

Your fire

The violent desire

That burns me in it's flame

A love I dare not name

The still and calm releases

That sweep into my soul

That slowly

Slowly

Slowly

Slowly

Slowly

Slowly

Slowlyyyyy......

Take control

And when at last they fell apart

She wished that she could be

The hardened heart

(Freddie & Montsy)

of yesterday, as cynical as he

By changing for the better

She had changed things for the worse

The words that made them happy once now echoed,

Echoed as a curse

Aaah aaah

aah aah aaa
