Björk Sonnets/Unrealities song lyrics

It may not always be so

and i say that if your lips

which i have loved

should touch another's

and your dear strong fingers clutch his heart

as mine in time not far away

If on another's face your sweet hair lay

in such a silence as i know

or such great writhing words as, uttering overmuch

stand helplessly before the spirit at bay

If this should be, i say if this should be

you of my heart, send me a little word

that i may go unto her, and take her hands saying

accept all happiness from me

then shall i turn my face

and hear one bird sing terribly afar in the lost lands
