Would That I
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicoes
Over canopy dead but long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felt 'fore the fire get cold
Befriended fire but that was long ago
But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
My blinking sun (Oooh, oooh)
Your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh but that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)
Light that fire bright (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze all night (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
With the war of the fire my heart moves to its feet
Like the ashes of ash I saw eyes in the heat
Feel it soft and as pure as snow
I fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I could lose I was never the same
Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Lay in waste of my loving long ago
But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Well I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
My blinking soul (Oooh, oooh)
Your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)
Let that fire burn (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze all night honey (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Long as amber of ember glows
All the wood that I'd loved this long ago
But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
My blinking soul (Oooh, oooh)
Your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)
Let that fire burn (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze all night (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to
Oh, you're good to me
You're good to me
Oh, you're good to me, baby
