C ome into these a rms again
And l ay your body d own
T h' rhythm of this t rembling heart
Is b eating like a d rum.
It b eats for you it bleeds for you
It k nows not how it s ounds.
For it is the d rum of drums
It is the song of s ongs.
O nce I had the r arest rose that
e ver deigned to bloom.
C ruel winter c hilled the balm
A nd stole my flower t oo soon
O loneliness O hopelessness
T o search the ends o f time
F or there is i n all the world
N o greater love than m ine.
L ove.... Still falls the rain.
L ove.... Be mine forever...
L et me be the o nly one
T o keep you from the c old.
N ow the floor of h eav'n is laid
I ts stars of brightest g low.
T hey shine for you.
T hey shine for you.
T hey burn for all to see.
C ome into these a rms again
A nd set this spirit f ree.
