Your Love

In the fabric of night when I tumble and shake and I stretch out to reach you
When the moon has a face that says, «What can we do with this delicate creature?
You say, «Baby you’re a baby.»
And baby, I believe you
All the knives and needles, the gloss and the razors, the tasers and lasers
All the insects with pincers, the creepers, the crawlers; the predators in us
You say, «Baby take it easy.»
But that don’t make it easier
You got me running 'round as if I was on fire
I fear the sky above
But there is nothing that’s more deadly than your love
And then there is the rest of you
I’m petrified but I can’t give you up
All the tyrants, the traitors, the fakes and persuaders; corrupted and baited
All the anguish and panic that sweep up my spine like a country invaded
The horror’s unabated
How could I ever leave you?
You got me overthrown as if there was flood
The poison in the blood
But there is nothing that’s more deadly than your love
And then there is the rest of you
I’m petrified but I can’t give you up
And nothing spooks me like it used to before
Nothing really makes me blink anymore
I am a pilgrim, down at your knees
I am emancipated
You got me running 'round as if I was on fire
I fear the sky above
But there is nothing that’s more deadly than your love
And then there is the rest of you
I’m petrified but I can’t give you up
