Would That I |
| True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree |
| Willow dancing on air before covering me |
| Under cotton and calicos |
| Over canopy dapple long ago |
| True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me |
| That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree |
| Must be felled for to fight the cold |
| I fretted fire but that was long ago |
| And it’s not tonight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Where I’m set alight (Oooh, oooh) |
| And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Your blinding light (Oooh) |
| Oh, it’s not tonight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) |
| And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) |
| Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh) |
| Oh, but you’re good to me |
| Oh, you’re good to me |
| Oh, but you’re good to me, baby |
| With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet |
| Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat |
| Settle soft and as pure as snow |
| I fell in love with the fire long ago |
| With each love I cut loose I was never the same |
| Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame |
| I was fixed on your hand of gold |
| Laying waste to my loving long ago |
| But that’s not tonight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Where I’m set alight (Oooh, oooh) |
| And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Of your blinding light (Oooh) |
| And it’s not tonight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) |
| And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) |
| Oh, let it blaze, alright, honey (Oooh) |
| Oh, but you’re good to me |
| Oh, you’re good to me |
| Oh, but you’re good to me, baby |
| So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain |
| Though I’ve handled the wood, I still worship the flame |
| Long as amber of ember glows |
| All the «would that I loved"is long ago |
| And it’s not tonight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Where I’m set alight (Oooh, oooh) |
| And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Of your blinding light (Oooh) |
| Oh, it’s not tonight (Oooh, oooh) |
| Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) |
| And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) |
| Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh) |
| Oh, but you’re good to me |
| Oh, you’re good to me |
| Oh, but you’re good to |
| Oh, you’re good to me |
| You’re good to me |
| Oh, but you’re good to me, baby |
