Darling, I loved you
I long to become you
And know what it is that you gave
We dance the sorrow
Forgive me tomorrow
And 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 and mind drift away?
I count to 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
Night after night, day after day
Would 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
