Until Songtext

von Sting

If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything
Was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?

If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you loved me?

Here in your arms
Where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until
The dancing ends

Here in your arms
Where everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near
The dancing's end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon
So we could ride until
The stars grew dim
Until...

One day you'll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You'll feel that you're close to some mystery

In the moonlight
When everything shatters
You feel as if you've known her all your life
The world's oldest lesson in history

Here in your arms
Where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until
The dancing ends

Here in your arms
Where everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near
The dancing's end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon
So we would ride until
The stars grew dim
Until...

The time
That time stands still
Until...
