Oh, to see without my eye The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried I built your walls around me
White noise, what an awful sound Fumbling by a rogue river
Feel my feet above the ground Hand of God, deliver me
Oh, woe is me The first time that you kissed me
Oh, will wonders ever cease Blessed be the mystery of love
Lord, I'm caught in living waters Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter Like a feisty anodyne
Alexander's lover Choked my riverbed as dried
Shall I find no other?
Oh, woe is me I'm running like a plover
Now I'm thrown to misery Blessed be the mystery of love
How much sorrow can I take? Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make?
When this love is over Shall I sleep within your bed?
River of unhappiness Hold your hand
Till I breathe my last breath
Oh, woe is me The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease Blessed be the mystery of love
