i have a song for you my love though it is soft it is also true
you will be safe when i devour you (i may have to chew)
i shall keep you in the shade and covered
my pared and muscles nude will lure beasts away from
wounds and hold you bloodwarm and sure
i have a song for you my love though it is soft it is also true
there are times when i shall put your head
on my heart for you to hear peace flow in the bloodbeat there
(even when you are filled with the joy you find it hard to show)
i shall keep your sighs afloat light
you will know you are safe even as you
collect and savour that darkness deep
this is what i want to say in your language
(and these words you may keep)
my love will vacuum pack nightmares
put them away hazardous waste
i have a song for you my love though it is soft it is also true
you do not owe me your forgiveness
but i shall seek and find the grace you need
that will leave no print of your dread or tears
i forgive you for how you have not hurt me
i forgive you for all the suffering that is yours
and i forgive you for mankind's inhumanity to man
the light i shine shall torch your misery and your torment too
i will protect you and drink your tears
i shall never sleep (for i am very good at that)
so that you may rest for as long as we move together
and peace may follow you where we go
or i will devour it too
i have a song for you my love it is soft and it is true
i have a song for you my love though it is soft it is also true
i have a song for you
my love
