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 thar 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 Till 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
