I said I'd be your lover.
|
You laughed at what I said.
|
I lost my job forever.
|
I was counted with the dead.
|
|
I swept the marble chambers,
|
But you sent me down below.
|
You kept me from believing
|
Until you let me know:
|
|
That I am not the one who loves ?
It's love that seizes me.
|
When hatred with his package comes,
|
You forbid delivery.
|
|
And when the hunger for your touch
|
Rises from the hunger,
|
You whisper, "You have loved enough,
|
Now let me be the Lover."
|
|
I swept the marble chambers,
|
But you sent me down below.
|
You kept me from believing
|
Until you let me know:
|
|
That I am not the one who loves ?
It's love that chooses me.
|
When hatred with his package comes,
|
You forbid delivery.
|
|
And when the hunger for your touch
|
Rises from the hunger...

You Have Loved Enough
