Love That Kills
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Will You take me slowly
Will You lead me all the way
Will You sing me Your songs until
I am ready for the Love that kills
You have known me in the sheets and folds of many lifetimes
You were there when I was made
And I will speak to You in the language of dreams until
Love comes my way
Love that kills
I will ride on a dolphin
rain in my face
wind in all of my sails
There's a shadow hard on my heels now
but I'm still trying
I'm still trying to get to the place
where all of life's rivers overspill
I have come a long way
and I need my cup refilled
So when You come for me slowly
When You come knocking on my door
When the soul sings and the man is still
I will be ready
I will be ready
Yes I will be ready for the Love that kills
