The Oblivion

Oh, it's hard to resist
On a night like this
Impossible to withstand
When you're holding my heart in your hand
You can lay down wherever you please
Under the moon cloud masterpeice
Let our conscience be devoured
By the sweetness of the hour
Lead me down your primrose path
And give me life and take some back
Oh, how I love that song
Will you play it again
Pour all your blue tides on
Your several so-called friends
Our love is sweeter than the oblivion
Now I know you got your mind
Set on somebody else
I was gonna let you down
I ain't kidding myself
Oh, how I paid for past mistakes
How blessed is the flesh that breaks
Now are you wide awake
Just one more time for old times sake
Lead me down your primrose path
And give me life and take some back
Oh, how I love that song
Will you sing it again
Pour all your blue tides on
Your several so-called friends
Our love is bigger than the oblivion
Amen, amen
