Would That I lyrics

True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree

Willow dancing on air before covering me

Under cotton and calicoes

Over canopy dead but long ago

True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me

That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree

Must be felt 'fore the fire get cold

Befriended fire but that was long ago

But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)

I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)

My blinking sun (Oooh, oooh)

Your blinding light (Oooh)

Oh but that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)

Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)

Light that fire bright (Oooh, oooh)

Oh, let it blaze all night (Oooh)

Oh, but you're good to me

Oh, you're good to me

Oh, but you're good to me, baby

With the war of the fire my heart moves to its feet

Like the ashes of ash I saw eyes in the heat

Feel it soft and as pure as snow

I fell in love with the fire long ago

With each love I could lose I was never the same

Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame

I was fixed on your hand of gold

Lay in waste of my loving long ago

But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)

Well I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)

My blinking soul (Oooh, oooh)

Your blinding light (Oooh)

Oh that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)

Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)

Let that fire burn (Oooh, oooh)

Oh, let it blaze all night honey (Oooh)

Oh, but you're good to me

Oh, you're good to me

Oh, but you're good to me, baby

So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain

Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame

Long as amber of ember glows

All the wood that I'd loved this long ago

But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)

I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)

My blinking soul (Oooh, oooh)

Your blinding light (Oooh)

Oh that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)

Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)

Let that fire burn (Oooh, oooh)

Oh, let it blaze all night (Oooh)

Oh, but you're good to me

Oh, you're good to me

Oh, but you're good to

Oh, you're good to me

You're good to me

Oh, you're good to me, baby
