come into these arms again
and lay your body down
the rhythm of this trembling heart
is beating like a drum
it beats for you,
it bleeds for you
it knows not how it sounds
for it is the drum of drums
it is the song of songs
once I had the rarest rose
that ever deigned to bloom.
cruel winter chilled the bud
and stole my flower too soon.
oh loneliness, oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
for there is in all the world
no greater love than mine.
love, oh love, oh love
still falls the rain (still falls the rain)
love, oh love, oh, love
still falls the night
love, oh love, oh love
be mine forever (be mine forever)
love, oh love, oh love
let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold
now the floor of heaven's lain
with stars of brightest gold
they shine for you, they shine for you
they burn for all to see
come into these arms again
and set this spirit free
