Thoughts of Love lyrics
by John Parr
[AENEAS]
We sail to a cold arrival
We fail our king
And our home
Instead of hope
We look to survival
What more could go wrong?
[PARIS]
It's still a night of magic
As far as I can see
Goddess Aphrodite is still
Smiling with me
For all this is fated
We were meant to be
Helen
You must know deep in your heart
The way you really feel
[HELEN]
Stop this!
Paris I beg you
You talk of my heart
And prattle on about fate
[PARIS, spoken]
But the gods
Helen, you must realize--
[HELEN]
(spoken)
You can't trust the gods
(sung)
Am I your Aphrodite
With this blood on my hands
[PARIS, spoken]
You did what was necessary, that's all
[HELEN]
(spoken)
I’m a murderess
A traitor
(sung)
The gods create the circ*mstancе
While we must pay the consеquence
Yesterday you were a game
I would play when I was lonely
A momentary diversion
From reality
To thoughts of love
I never had time for
