What Is Love?

Well now really when we go back into falling in love

And say, it's crazy

Falling

You see?

We don't say "rising into love"

There is in it, the idea of the fall

And it is goes back as a matter of fact

To extremely fundamental things

That

There is always a curious

Tie at some point

Between the fall

And the creation

Taking this ghastly risk

Ah, is the condition of there being life

You see, for all life is an act of faith and an act of gamble

And the moment you take a step

You do so on an act of faith

'Cause you don't really know that the floor's not going to give under your feet

The moment you take a journey, what an act of faith

The moment that you enter into any kind of human

Undertaking in relationship, what an act of faith

See, you've given yourself up

But this is the most powerful thing that can be done, surrender

See, and love is an act of surrender to another person

Total abandonment

I give myself to you

Take me

Do anything you like with me

So, that's quite mad

Because you see it's letting things get out of control

All sensible people keep things in control

Watch it, watch it, watch it

Security?

Vigilance

Watch it

Police?

Watch it

Guards?

Watch it

Who's going to watch the guards?

So, actually, therefore, the course of wisdom

What is really sensible, is to let go

Is to commit oneself, to give oneself up and that's quite mad

So we come to the strange conclusion that in madness lies sanity
