I know that you're there, and you're leaning towards me
I've seen the future alive on the sea
Before every sentence, behind every kiss
Are we really in love, is it really like this?
Lover, O lover, don't mess up my plans
Lover, O lover, don't tie up my hands
Don't fog up the mirror, don't forfeit the motion
But cry in the corner and sleep on the ocean
I have been taken from the safest black hole
I have been shaken beyond my control
And here, I'm determined, with my foot in your door
Give me your treasures, and I'll give you more
I will be faithful and I will be true
I will be strong for you, I will belong to you
And I will be silver, and I will be gold
And I will pour light in you when you are old
And I will share counsel when we are in trouble
And I will break statues when you are my double
And I will be sentry and soldier and lover
I won't let you die in the steps of your mother
