Lyrics

Pretty pictures, carved in stone Standing silent since time unknown Find the tablet that holds the key The meaning is clear to me They leave us their words A pretty princess and her loyal slave who works as scribe for the royal trade He should be writing about his work But he only writes about her They leave us their words All day they hold their feelings deep inside and pray that no one sees it in their eyes At night, she stands and waits for him to come He does, and loves her until she's done And after loving, late at night They carve their words by candlelight They make two copies, one for her tomb And one that he'll keep in his room They leave us their words I wish I could find a love as true as their's Someone who will risk it all to show he cares But it seems to find a love that brave and kind I guess I've got to travel back in time Pretty pictures, carved in stone Standing silent, so long unknown Find the tablet that holds the key The meaning is clear to me They leave us their words They leave us, they leave us their words They leave us, they leave us their words They leave us, they leave us their words They leave us, they leave us their words They leave us, they leave us their words They leave us, they leave us their words Words/Melody: (c)2000 by Janet H.

Full Description

This was written out of Janet's love for history. The story of a couple in ancient Egypt with a forbidden romance (royalty & servant) and how they risk it all for love, the discovery of that story on an ancient stone tablet ("they leave us their words") and how that makes Janet wonder where the romance is in her life today -- will she have to go back in time to find someone who will risk it all for love with her...
