The Earth Turns South/When I Love You
WHEN I LOVE YOU
When I love you
Let not my love pour fouled and thinned,
Like close air in a stuffy room;
Let my desire enfold you
Like sunlight drenching flowers.
Let not my love pour fouled and thinned,
Like close air in a stuffy room;
Let my desire enfold you
Like sunlight drenching flowers.
Let me not woo you
With doubtful chatter and sinuous hint,
Sibilant and cautious;
I would sweep through you
Like a swelling rain-wind through a thirsty forest.
With doubtful chatter and sinuous hint,
Sibilant and cautious;
I would sweep through you
Like a swelling rain-wind through a thirsty forest.
I would lie on your lips
Like moon shimmer on quiet water,
One with you
As day and night are one,
As life and death are one.
Like moon shimmer on quiet water,
One with you
As day and night are one,
As life and death are one.
