Shades of Wilderness (Director’s Cut)

When you close your eyes, what do you see?

I see memories of the first time I met you
so calm, yet adventurous.
Golden sand and huge palm trees
your eyes so bright, like there was no place happier than this.
Standing on mountains so high, with views so far.
A landscape of no end.

Warm souls of no regret.
Eyes of faith, of love, endless love.

A fire burning inside you
which can never extinguish.
A fire of hope, a fire of gold.

When you close your eyes, what do you see?
