Darling, I loved you,
|
I long to become you
|
And know what it is that you gave
|
|
We dance the sorrow
|
Forgive me tomorrow
|
I pray
|
|
Night after night, day after day
|
Would you watch my body weaken
|
My mind drift away?
|
|
Dear lover forsaken
|
Our love is taken away
|
You were my speaker
|
My innocence keeper
|
I don't
|
|
Night after night, day after day
|
Would you watch my body weaken,
|
My mind drift away?
|
|
Dear lover forgiven
|
My love is driven by rage
|
Oh I should just leave you
|
Instead I've deceived you
|
But I don't
|
|
Night after night, day after day
|
Would you watch my body weaken
|
My mind drift away?
|
|
I count no one, hold nobody's ear
|
I sold you my hand once and you hit me in fear
|
I don't stand for the devil
|
I don't whisper in ears
|
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear
|
|
It's a sudden burst of light
|
It's a fate foretold
|
It is knowing, it is knowing
|
|
He longs for the answers, as all of us must
|
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
|
He screams in the night, I scream in the day
|
We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray
|
|
Night after night, day after day
|
Night after night, day after day
|
Could you watch my body weaken
|
And my mind drift away?
|
|
It's a tempting communion
|
It's a fate foretold
|
It is knowing, it is knowing
|
What it is that you're told
|
|
