the slowest night
the slowest dance
you sway across the room
as in a dream

an empty house
with empty rooms
i loved you so
but now you leave

go, and leave if you must know
and go, i never wanted you to know
go

we ran away
or so we thought
now i know you were told to go

to know love, to show love
and go
to give love, to feel loved
and go

i fell asleep
washed up on the shore
i kissed my son christopher
he moved to speak
no words could reach me
but one once knew

go love, and learn by your desire
and know love
you're the only reason why
i'm terrified to go
to know love, to show love
go
to give love, to feel loved
go
to know love, to show love
i'm begging you to go
