Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come now, and now my love
And leave your dying desert to the rains
Give up your treasured wounds
Let go of the tempting memory of the pain
[Verse 2]
Give up the vows you've taken
And you will live, and you will learn to fly away
And you will fly
[Verse 3]
And you will live,  my love
And see the stars regain your starless night
And you will find your sun and learn the magic meaning of its light
[Verse 4]
All souls will be yours to cherish
Rising, falling, in their earthly flight
And you will fly
[Verse 5]
And I would love, my love
And he would seek a refuge in my eyes
But no resource of love could keep him from the fire where loving dies
[Verse 6]
And I would reach out my hand as he was
Falling, falling to his home on high
And he would fly
[Verse 7]
Give up your treasured wounds
Let go of the tempting memory of the pain
Give up the vows you've taken
And you will live, and you will learn to fly again
And you will fly
