Darling I loved you, I longed to become you
And know what it is that you gave
We danced to sorrow, forgive me tomorrow I pray
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken, my mind drift away?
Dear lover forsaken, our love is taken away
Oh you were my speaker, my innocence keeper
I don't know
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken, my mind drift away?
Dear lover forgiven, my love is driven by rage
Oh I should just love you, instead of deceive you
But I don't
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken, my mind drift away?
I come to no one, hold nobody's ear
I showed you my hand once and you hit me in fear
I don't stand for the devil, I don't whisper in ears
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear
It's a sudden burst of light, it's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
He longs for the answers as all of us must
He longs for the women who will conquer his lust
He screams in the night, I scream in the day
We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray
Night after night, day after day
Night after night, day after day
Could you watch my body weaken, my mind drift away?
It's a tempting communion, it's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
What it is that you're told
Mmmmmm
