I have known the Capulets
I have known the Montagues too
And everything they had done
In the name of loving you
There are some families out there
who don't believe it's true
But I saw it in the paper and I saw
it in the deepest blue
Some things that you see you can believe
In just one sight
But never I saw true love more
Than I saw it that first night
Some people don't even see what's right in front of their eyes
They can be so blind to love and walk over on the otherside
I have seen the Capulets and I've seen the Montagues too
And they have known that their heart's not stone
And that love's not true
I have searched the forests, I've searched the deserts too
I have not seen love I've known for a week or two
I had asked Apollo, I asked Hermes and Mars
They pointed me to the swallows and said why not cross some stars
I walked upon the moon and I looked for love up there
But it was only a reflection in a spoon and a long cold stare
I want to find a place that you can tell me so
That there is a place to go, where the love does show
Sometimes it is hidden in the reeds like a Bittern
Sometimes love will boom its name just as it is written
I cannot believe my words, I can't believe what they say
If you tell me love's a bird that will fly away
There are many martyrs who have fallen on their swords
All in the name of love but now they fall no more
What can you tell me of, if it's not in vain
Don't love the same woman time and time again
Well I knew the Capulets, I knew the Montagues too
I walked in the House of God and out the window flew
I was a ghost in the haunted house upon the hill
A ghost of all the love that's past and all that ever will
She left it in her will to me, she left me a million dollars
Said that love can't be bought or sold and that gold was hollow
And I knew the Capulets and I knew Montagues too
And I walked with Angels when two lovers did love true
There can be no answers fit, no answers can be given
That love is just a place to sit with a bright red ribbon
