Please Don't Give Me What I Want

Hold off
How long
Love how long
How long

Hold off
How long
Love how long
How long

Oh please don't give me what I want
And protect me from the quake to come
My dear I know the hounds are near
Oh I fickle as a pendulum
I trembled in the winter pale
Wrecked to the depths of my wickedness
And breathless luckless though I am
The heart of a lion inside the lamb

Won't you come for me
Across the line
And I hold my heart if
Only only only only

Please don't give me what I want
And forsake my basest whim
There come for our embrace by night
And I'm harbouring my sin
Darling you know I'm afraid of leaving
Mornings light bears the cross I stood
And I wish I was good if
Only only only only
I could

Won't you come for me
Across the line
And I hold my heart if
Only only only only
