[Intro – soft saxophone over warm bass and Rhodes, 8 bars] [Verse 1] I don’t split you into pieces I can name Not the heart in one room and the body in another When you look at me like that I take it all The vow, the hunger, and the quiet after You are not a choice I have to make You are the whole night arriving at once [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask me which one I came for I came for the three of them The holy, the hungry The hush [Chorus] This is love, lust and bliss Not one without the other two Your name in my mouth like a prayer Your skin like a promise coming true I want the soul and the shaking I want the peace when we’re done Love, lust and bliss All of it All of you [Verse 2] Some men love in daylight and hide at night Some men take the heat and leave the meaning I want the laugh that follows when we break I want the hand that stays when the room is breathing If this is sin then let it be a chapel If this is grace then let it have a pulse [Pre-Chorus] Don’t make me pick a language I speak all three The vow, the wanting The ease [Chorus] This is love, lust and bliss Not a bargain split in parts I kiss you like I mean forever I hold you like I know your heart I want the fire and the morning I want the hush and the rush Love, lust and bliss All of it All of you [Bridge – saxophone conversation with the vocal] I love you in the kitchen light I want you when the lamp burns low And when the wanting settles That’s the bliss I never let go [Verse 3] So take the pretty word and take the raw one Lay them both across my chest I will not love you from a distance I will not want you and forget the rest If heaven has a body it looks like this Your breath, my name, the quiet yes [Final Chorus] This is love, lust and bliss Three rivers in a single bed Come closer with the whole of you No part of you I leave unsaid Stay in the heat Stay in the holy Stay in the hush Love, lust and bliss All of it All of you [Outro – saxophone fade, whispered baritone] Love… Lust… Bliss… You.
