If you must wait,
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
If you must weep,
Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
If you must mourn, my love
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn,
Don't do it alone

If you must leave,
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak,
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die, sweetheart
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
And if you must die,
Remember your life

You are

If you must fight,
Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
If you must work,
Work to leave some part of you on this earth
If you must live, darling one,

Just live

 I knew you were trouble when you walked in

"You moan, mouth open, wrecked and panting. I can’t tell if it’s a sight that belongs to a Botticelli angel or a whore. You’re sweeter than any heaven I know and as damning as any sin, but the way you open around my fingers is worth any divine punishment."

They tell me you've touched the face of God,
at the sound of the rope cracking on your neck
They tell me you'd never give it up
like the song that was soul singing in your head

So honey please, don't let go
or you'll fall into the dead of night
So honey please, don't let go
You better learn to fly,
'cause they're gonna point you up at the sky

The more that you want it
The more that you need it
I know that you'll be by my side
In the heat of the moment 
When the thunder and lightning comes
I know that you'll be by my side

That loving man ain't no rolling stone
At the sound of the drums, I'm gonna set you free
I talk to him on the telephone,
and these are the words that he gave to me...

stranger in the dark, the lonely night

heard your mother calling

where you been, cain? where you been?

where’s your brother?

abel in the dark, abel in the night

heard his brother calling

watch your sin, cain. watch your sin

i’m your brother

the light goes down a mark from god

you’re shaking now, your brother’s blood

left alone- what have you done?

your father’s boy, your mother’s son

adam in the dark, adam in the night

had a father calling

man and sin, cain

man and sin love each other

eve in dark, the lonely night

only mother calling

where you been, cain? where you been?

where’s your brother

Oh I'm a mess right now
Inside out
Searching for a sweet surrender
But this is not the end
I can't work it out
How going through the motions
Going through us
And oh I've known it for the longest time
And all of my hopes
All of my own words
Are all over written on the signs
But you're on my road
Walking me home

See the flames inside my eyes
It burns so bright I wanna' feel your love
Easy baby maybe I'm a liar
But for tonight I wanna' fall in love
Put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time
Late last night
Drinking to suppress devotion
With fingers intertwined
I can't shake this feeling now
We're going through the motions
Hoping you'd stop

And ohhh I've only caused you pain
I know but all of my words will always below
Of all the love you spoke
When you're on my road
Walking me home

And for how long, I love, my lover
For how long I love my lover
And now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Do you recall, not long ago
We would walk on the sidewalk
Innocent, remember?
All we did was care for each other

But the night was warm
We were bold and young
All around the wind blows
We would only hold on to let go

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

What will we do when we get old?
Will we walk down the same road?
Will you be there by my side?
Standing strong as the waves roll over

When the nights are long
Longing for you to come home
All around the wind blows
We would only hold on to let go
