|
from the rib I was made |
|
it was taken from your side |
|
and now I'll never leave it |
|
my beloved is mine |
|
and before these arms could hold |
|
I knew you and I was dust and bone |
|
with you I belong and with you I will stay |
|
my darling how lovely |
|
our story, they'll say |
|
that one was made into two |
|
as new stars shone |
|
lover come to me and lay your head |
|
on my beating heart |
|
and my body will be your bed |
|
you came from the earth |
|
breath turned into man |
|
and you named all the creatures |
|
on wind sea and land |
|
and through many thousand dreams |
|
you slept alone |
|
but now I will follow into the night |
|
and our voices will sing out together in time |
|
as we carve our hallelujah in the sacred stone |
|
lover come to me and lay your head |
|
on my beating heart |
|
and my body will be your bed |
|
lover come to me, we'll ebb and flow |
|
with the tide that moves |
|
in the oceans of our souls |
|
and the day that I leave you |
|
I won't be alone |
|
I'll be one of the many |
|
on streets lines with gold |
|
and I know one day you will find me in the crowd |
|
the time may go slowly |
|
the time may go fast |
|
the time will return you to my arms at last |
|
and you'll hear me sayin' |
|
before they put you in the ground |
|
lover come to me and lay your head |
|
on my beating heart |
|
and my body will be your bed |
|
lover come to me through dirt and stone |
|
let your spirit rise to my voice calling you home |
|
from the rib I was made |
|
it was taken from your side |
|
and now I'll never leave it |
|
my beloved is mine |
|
and before these arms could hold |
|
I knew you and I was dust and bone |
|
I knew you and I was dust and bone |
