Oh love how long Love how long How long Oh love 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 konw 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
