Jessie Lemont - Extinguish My Eyes lyrics

Extinguish my eyes, I still can see you, Close my ears, I can hear your footsteps fall, And without feet I still can follow you, And without voice I still can to you call. Break off my arms, and I can embrace you, Enfold you with my heart as with a hand. Hold my heart, my brain will take fire of you As flax ignites from a lit fire-brand— And flame will sweep in a swift rushing flood Through all the singing currents of my blood.
