What the Future Holds - We Shan’t Be Told Words & music by Væring 1995 What the future holds we shan't be told we won't know until the present is the past of countless embraces and flashes of joy there'll be no promises made We shan't be told of kisses and the promises they hold of how sometimes they merely seal the past of the long mornings in bed the letters of love the poetry of lonely hotel rooms So on this quiet day let's just sail away on oceans of empathy We shan't be told of bodies that are aching for love longing for something far beyond each other or of the times a lover will leave in anger and of the lightness of just being after his sweet return after he so sweetly came back So on this quiet day let's just sail away on oceans of empathy Sail away on this quiet day on oceans of empathy to the other side of the stream We shan't be told if curiosity will fade we probably won't notice even as it happens if years full of intimacy after the years filled with love will follow the years full of desire So on this quiet day let's just sail away on oceans of empathy Sail away on this quiet day Printvenlig version
