Be My Love

[Instrumental intro, 8 seconds] [Verse 1] Come with me where the willows lean, where the lark sings soft over fields unseen. I will lay you down where the stone holds day, petals warm as breath where your heartbeat lay. [Instrumental, 10 seconds] [Chorus 1] Be my love in the bitter deep, be my love where the roses sleep, be my love through the silver rain, be my love… be my love. [Verse 2] I will wrap you in wool ’til the night turns thin, salt from the tide on your quiet skin. You taste of rain and the orchard’s fire, my hands will keep what my hands desire. [Instrumental] [Chorus 2] Be my love, I will keep you deep, be my love where the roses weep, be my love through the blackened rain, be my love… be my love. [Bridge] The hillside will keep your secret, the creek will carry your name, the wind through the yew will whisper you’ll never come back the same. [Instrumental – heartbeat bass, reversed piano] [Chorus 3] Be my love, you are already deep, be my love where the roses keep, be my love in the earth and rain, be my love… be my love. [Instrumental outro – heartbeat bass fades, reversed harp echo]
