lyrics
i dreamed it would be nameless bliss
as i loved, loved to be
to this person did i confess
as blind as eagerly
but wide as pathless was the space
that lay our lives between
and dangerous as the rising waves
of ocean-surges green
i am not looking at the door
i am not looking at the door
i am not looking at the door
but i see him come in
i look down i try to read
try to only need
the letters that i see
i know i don’t mean anything
i can’t think he would care for me
i can’t think that he meant anything, he said
last time i saw him
who has he been with where has he been
i feel so far from him
the blood pales from my skin
my eyes are drawn involuntarily to his face
it’s golden pleasure with a steely point of agony
what force put my feelings in his power?
he made me love him without looking at me
i fear he will turn to look right at me
i hope he will turn to look right at me
something in my nerves and blood ties me to him
did i not just forbid myself to think of this?
i cannot hope, he does not care for me a bit
yet while i breathe and i think i must love him
he does not care for me a bit
yet while i breathe and i think i must love him, love him
my love has sworn, with sealing kiss
with me to live—to die
i have at last my nameless bliss
as i love—loved am i
her coming was my hope each day
her parting was my pain
the chance that did her steps delay
was ice in every vein
the tones that sever the air stop my feet
his voice finds a way
to awaken my feelings strangely
i make my leave, i make my leave
my love has sworn, with sealing kiss
with me to live—to die
i have at last my nameless bliss
as i love—loved am i
my love has placed his perfect hand
with noble faith in mine
i dreamed it would be nameless bliss
as i love—loved am i
