I told Rosie, can’t you see
We cannot afford this happiness forever
You take the fire, I’ll take the sea
And love will take us back to where we used to be
This was on the morning he took her by the hand and said
We’ll be like birds, give ourselves to wind
Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery by firelight
Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery go flying by
William he has gone further still
With the graves that he gave to the other men
Well-deep in his heart of stone and will
Lives a little piece of what the world has made of him
Midnight has come and gone, he vows with pen and paper moons
He is facing east, the sun has come too soon
Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery by firelight
Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery go flying by
