what is love?

a song by my new favourite artist... Sigvart Dagsland.
Music has always stirred my emotions, but here is a man who can make music with words. To actually hear these words with the music is an even greater experience but I will be gentle and give you the words to start with...

What is love?
Tekst: Mike Mc Gurk & Sigvart Dagsland / Melodi: Sigvart Dagsland

What is love, a gentle flower
so hard to tell
Showering pure
bitter sweet madness
over you

It takes control, turns night to day
it runs like a fever
Soothing and healing,
hiding - revealing
love's endless theme

And when somebody asks
you can't explain
you can't express
what it is
So let people ask
don't explain
just be content
to be in that ocean of bliss

Poets, painters sing its praises
It's all been said
But it strikes you like lightning,
bewitching and frightening
love's endless theme

But love can fail you, do you wrong
and love can be so sad
Nothing can shake you
disturb you and make you
so lonely as love

So when somebody asks
you what it was
don't explain
about pain and bliss
But treated ill or well
you might just tell
them that it was
a feeling you would never have missed
