A Heart Story

Well now really when we go back into falling in love And say, it's crazy Falling You see? We don't say "rising into love" There is in it, the idea of the fall And it goes back, as a matter of fact, to extremely fundamental things That there is always a curious tie at some point Between the fall and the creation Taking this ghastly risk Is the condition of there being life You see, for all life is an act of faith and an act of gamble The moment you take a step You do so on an act of faith because you don't really Know that the floor's not going to give under your feet The moment you take a journey, what an act of faith The moment that you enter into any Kind of human undertaking in relationship What an act of faith See, you've given yourself up But this is the most powerful thing that can be done: surrender See. And love is an act of surrender to another person Total abandonment I give myself Take me. Do anything you like So, that's quite mad Because you see it's letting things get out of control All sensible people keep things in control Watch it, watch it, watch it Security? Vigilance Watch it. Police? Watch it Guards? Watch it Who's going to watch the guards?
