Mystery of Love

Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried
I built your walls around me

White noise, what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet above the ground
Hand of God deliver me

Oh, woe is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love

(Love)
(Love)
(Love)

Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter

Like Hephaestion who died
Alexander's lover
Now my river bed has dried
Shall I find no other?

Oh, woe is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

(Only love will bring love)
(Only love will bring love)
(Only love will bring love)
(Only love will bring love)

How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make?
When this love is over

Shall I sleep within your bed?
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands upon my head
Until I breathe my last breath
