Not with Haste

Your eyes they tie Me down so hard I'll never learn to put up a guard So keep my love My candle bright Learn me hard, oh learn me right This ain't no sham I am what I am Though I may speak Some tongue of old Or even spit out some holy word I have no strength From which to speak When you sit me down, and see I'm weak We will run and scream You will dance with me They'll fulfill our dreams And we'll be free And we will be who we are And they'll heal our scars Sadness will be far away So as we walked Through fields of green Was the fairest sun I'd ever seen And I was broke I was on my knees But you said, "Yes" as I said, "Please" This ain't no sham I am what I am I leave no ties For a cynics mind We will run and scream You will dance with me They'll fulfill our dreams And we'll be free We will be who we are And they'll heal our scars Sadness will be far away Do not let my fickle flesh go to waste As it keeps my heart and soul in its place And I will love with urgency but not with haste
