Love Over Six Centuries. - Eloy

I’ll tell you who I am and whence I came

It’s not going to be easy to explain

My body has returned, my mind is all at sea

Will you tell me who you are

And where we’re meant to be?

She answers in a gentle lilting style

Says little but speaks volumes with a smile

With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand

«Come with me, I’ll answer all I can»

Dialogue:

Jamie: April, 1358… Paris…I don’t understand any more

My name is Jamie… and mine is a strange story

One which even I don’t fully understand… my father is a scientist

And he’s been experimenting with time-eroding drugs

Well, I was sitting in his work-room

It was late at night

And I was thinking… you know, about me and my future

'Cause I’ve just left school… and I don’t know what I want to do

I must have somehow taken the drug… and landed up here

Jeanne: My name is Jeanne… let me tell you my story

My father owns many acres around here

Which are farmed by peasants… whom he rules with an iron hand

The neighbouring landlord’s even worse

And I’m supposed to marry his son

That’s not my choice… you know the saying: «Like father, like son»

Jamie: Well, I see we’ve both got our problems… perhaps we can help each other

I’ve got something here… lots of my friends smoke it

I don’t suppose you know it

Try it, it helps at times like these

Jeanne: Oh, what a beautiful feeling

Everything’s shimmering in the twilight

Look at that sunset… I've never seen such colours before

It all seems suspended in eternity… I wish moments like these would last

forever

I’m not worried anymore

What are you thinking?

Jamie: I can’t think at the moment… let's just enjoy it

Somehow we must stay together

Lifelong friend, my lifelong friend

Love like ours will last forever

Never end, and never end

We’ll somehow wipe away our fears

And find a way to bridge the years
