[Intro]
(x2)
[Verse 1]
Oh, to see without my eyes
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 Rogue River
feel my feet above the ground
hand of god, deliver me
[chorus 1]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
blessed be the mystery of love
[Interlude 1]
(x4)
[Verse 2]
Lord, I no longer believe
drowned in living waters
cursed by the love that I received
from my brother's daughter
like hephaestion, who died
alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?
[chorus 2]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
[Interlude 2]
(x4)
[Verse 3]
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 hands upon my head
Till I breathe my last breath
[chorus 3]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
blessed be the mystery of love
[Outro]
(x4)
