I heard some people talking
They say that chivalry is dead
And romance has a foot in the grave
Convenience, obligation, habit, divorce court
Doesn't love count for something anymore
It's not dead, it's evolved
Love notes moving like the speed of light
From lovers some of them half a world away
But just cuz the roses are ASCII don't mean
Their thorns aren't as sharp, their scent not as sweet
A man in the east grabbed a hold of my heart
And he wanted to make it shine
And I took hold of his hand as he reached out for me
And I told him that he was mine
But the Fates they were against us
Forever called on account of rain
My tears found their voice and oh how I cried
A hand wipes them away as a new voice speaks up
You're not as alone as you migh tthink that you are
A man in the east took a hold of my heart
And he wanted to see me smile
And I took hold of his hand as he reached out for me
And I told him it's been a while
And the man in the east with the light on my heart
And the eyes that were searching my soul
How I yearn for his kisses, how I long for his touch
And who knows what the future will hold
