Zimri and Zepora

What's in a name?
Should we swear by the moon?
Rose
They were foolish, the bards lovers.

But there are walls
Between the centuries and today
Our parents ate sour grapes.

Don't hear Christine
When they will tell you we're wicked and wrong
Hold on Christine
I will still love you though we're worlds apart

We're torn apart
as the past fathers saw.
Call me Zimri my Zepora.

Turn away
All the boundaries must fall
There is something larger somewhere.

Help me Christine
Help me to see past to things that are real
Hold me Christine
Hold me to promises I'll never keep

Don't hear Christine
When they will tell you we're wicked and wrong
Hold on Christine
I will still love you though we're worlds apart
I will still love you though we're worlds apart
