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.

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.

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?

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.

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, ’til I breathe my last breath.

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.

“Mystery of Love” by Sufjan Stevens.
