[Verse 1]
Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried
I built your walls around me
White noise, what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet above the ground
Hand of God, deliver me
[Chorus]
Oh, woe, woe is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love
[Verse 2]
Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter
Like Hephaestion who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?
[Chorus]
Oh, woe, woe is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me
[Verse 3]
How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make
When this love is over?
Shall I sleep within your bed?
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands upon my head
Till I breathe my last breath
[Chorus]
Oh, woe, woe is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love
