Grateful

South Pacific

Slow Motion

Running

Insomnia

Come and kiss me with the kiss of your mouth
Cause we make love better than wine, no doubt
I don’t care who knows, take me when you go—let’s run

Like a wild mare driving chariots
With the lively eyes of a desert dove
You’re a valley flower and the rest are thorns—no comparison
Come and lay me down now

Your left arm under my head, I’m in your right’s embrace
I’d make Jerusalem swear, sometimes you have to wait
Don’t dare awaken love until she’s ready, until she’s ready

Arise, my beautiful, and come
The winter’s passed and the rains are done
Don’t hide, my dove, fly from those crags to me

My love is mine and I am his
So many nights I searched for him
Have you seen my love? Have you seen my true love? 
Now that I caught him I won’t let him go, let him go

Each night I searched the city, through every street and square
Sometimes you wait a while—I’d make Jerus’lem swear,
Don’t dare awaken love until she’s ready, until she’s ready

Finesse me with flawless eyes, from out your tresses
Your hair flowing like a flock of goats down Mount Gilead
Your scarlet lips under shadows cast like pomegranates
With one glance you captured the only heart I had
Your lips flow with honey, milk under your tongue
Sweet cane and cinnamon, to your garden I come seeking
A well of fresh water, the choicest of fruits
My lover, my friend, I’m drunk on you

I had a dream that you left me
Naked and alone, on the edge of loving
And I called your name, no reply
the dream turns into nightmare without you by my side

If I seem faint to you now, it’s two hearts I’m carrying
I’d make Jerusalem swear, it changes everything
Don’t dare awaken love until you’re ready, until you’re ready
Your left arm under my head, I’m in your right’s embrace
I’d make Jerusalem swear, sometimes you have to wait
Don’t dare awaken love until she’s ready, until she’s ready

Set me as a seal on your heart
Set me as a seal on your arm
For love burns fierce as death
And waters cannot extinguish it

lyrics based on the Song of Songs (sometimes called the Song of Solomon), as translated by Dr. David Carr
