This Is All That Matters - Duke Special

I might not have held you;

the perfect embrace

Was a gesture that I could’t find

The bird which resides on the edges of space

Will agree that I was not unkind

Mine is the spirit which won’t be contained

In a castle, cathedral or jail

Truth is elusive but I will remain

Though I stumble, and flicker and fail

I lived under the dark cloth

Nothing else matters at all

Following visions of heaven

Nothing else matters

Nothing else matters at all

Leave your possessions and cling to the light

Oh my woman, my lover, my kiss

Art is a flame in the deep of the night

We are hung between darkness and bliss

Yearning for glory continues to burn

Though my body will wither and die

If we lack the passion then nature will turn

We’ll hear hymns from the stones and the sky

I lived under the dark cloth

Nothing else matters at all

Following visions of heaven

Nothing else matters

Nothing else matters at all

At all

At all
