Lyrics
So I met a girl, fiery green-eyed sweet girl
On a roof 'neath the moon's cloudy swirl
Oh, I met a boy strumming softly he'd sing
Lacing lyrics like pearls on a string
We talked about our signs and if they were aligned
And of flying away to an isle
Far away from our lives
We heard the rains against the panes
Falling on the rooftop
We listened long to our songs
And our hearts couldn't stop
It seems that was only a dream
So I met a boy, icy blue-grey eyed boy
Through the bustling crowd rang a voice
Oh I met a girl on a brick-covered street
Was it fortune or fate we should meet?
Over time became entwined when the day turned to night
Was the start of the rest of our lives
Side by side began to lie and we held an embrace
Our twisted lips shared a kiss and we stared face to face
It's only a dream come true
