Love that kills

Will You take me slowly
Will You lead me all the way
Will You sing me Your songs until
I am ready for the Love that kills

You have known me in the sheets and folds of many lifetimes
You were there when I was made
And I will speak to You in the language of dreams until
Love comes my way
Love that kills

I will ride on a dolphin
rain in my face
wind in all of my sails
There's a shadow hard on my heels now
but I'm still trying
I'm still trying to get to the place
where all of life's rivers overspill
I have come a long way
and I need my cup refilled

So when You come for me slowly
When You come knocking on my door
When the soul sings and the man is still
I will be ready
I will be ready
Yes I will be ready for the Love that kills
