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
Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I receive
From my brother’s daughter
Like Hephaestion who died
Alexander’s lover
Now my riverbed 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
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
Til I breathe my last breath
Oh, woe is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease
Blessed be the mystery of love
