[Verse 1] Love gives nothing but itself, mmm... And takes nothing but from itself Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed For love... love is sufficient unto love (Oh... sufficient unto love...) [Chorus:] When love beckons, follow! Though its ways are hard and steep Sigh... mmm... When its wings enfold you, yield! Though the sword hidden among feathers may wound May wound... may wound you... [Verse 2] Think not you can direct the course of love For love... if it finds you worthy Directs your course, oh... Like the ocean moving within you Rising... falling... endless waves (Ahh... endless waves...) [Bridge] To know the pain of too much tenderness Is to be touched! Touched by the hand of God! I am trembling! Trembling! Between the shadow of your soul And the light... the light of your heart [Final Chorus] Love crowns you, yet it crucifies It grows you, oh... yet it prunes Let love melt your heart until it becomes a flowing river Flowing! Flowing! Into the salty sea... For to be wrapped in love's wings Is to have felt eternity (Ahh... felt eternity...) [Fade out] [End]
