Selected Recordings

by Virginia Woolf.
I would venture to guess that 'anon' who wrote so many poems without signing them was often a woman.
Lock up your libraries if you like for there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set against the freedom of my mind.

Lyrics:
First, there were clouds, and then there was rain
And the moon slowly died away
I couldn't see what my eyes wished to see
For my heart was in longing for sun
Trying to recognize the inevitability of loving you
And in return feeling terrified to give off the wrong impression
No my face can't lie my desire is too strong
PLaying with the design of love
So close so near , so unbelievably near
Yet your eyes never seem to meet mine
A glance, now and then, a gentle brush off my face
You're playing with a little one's fears
Trying to recognize the inevitability of loving you
And in return feeling terrified to give off the wrong impression
No my face can't lie my desire is too strong
Playing with teh design of love..
Why the he;; d'you have to play it safe?
Oh Lord.. instead of siding with your own fear
Sweet Lord.. Just give in as much as I intended.
And let me just hold you until you break down, till light..
Let the sun come only for one night..
