Forever Hold

[00:15.72] If I am lying in pleasure
[00:17.69] Where we met by the light of the moon
[00:20.43] To float down the widest river
[00:22.22] To arrive in the finest room
[00:24.17] Then keep me on the tether there
[00:25.99] Where graces wide are strewn
[00:27.80] And hold me to the letter there
[00:29.71] That all is gone so soon
[00:32.52] It was out in the dust of the evening
[00:34.32] Where the water flows from the rock
[00:36.20] That we met with the greatest feeling
[00:38.09] On the dunes of ten o'clock
[00:40.86] And now you're face is the sunshine
[00:42.76] That feeds the leaves of these eyes
[00:44.54] And now your arm is the river vine
[00:47.31] That pulls these limbs from the tide
[00:49.17] I'll forever hold to you
[00:53.71] I will
[00:57.52] And when I am cold I hold you still
[01:07.74] If ever there were demons
[01:09.54] There are demons to be sure
[01:11.31] I think that I can see them
[01:14.15] Coming right up to the door
[01:16.08] And if I only dream them
[01:17.83] Let me leave them to recite
[01:20.66] Whatever oath's between them
[01:22.55] And the skeletons of night
[01:24.49] And if that oath I'm under
[01:26.22] And I mumble it like a fiend
[01:29.06] Then break me from their number
[01:30.87] And take me from the scene
[01:32.75] And love me like you loved me
[01:34.56] When you loved me in the Spring
[01:36.40] And mine will be the memory
[01:39.27] Whose future you'll redeem
[01:41.13] I'll forever hold to you
[01:46.60] I will
[01:49.47] And when I am cold I hold you still
[01:58.01]
[02:00.25] If I am lazy in splendor
[02:02.12] And whistling a tune
[02:03.90] With my feet up on the leather
[02:05.85] Of the hide of a Mydas tomb
[02:08.61] Then do me one the better there
[02:10.47] And break my bed of doom
[02:12.31] And make your own a bed of stone
[02:14.16] As a bride for a wide-eyed groom
[02:16.99] And it will be my purpose
[02:17.89] To answer when you cry
[02:20.67] And if true love deserve us
[02:22.50] Then blessed be you and I
[02:25.23] And ever-after seldom
[02:27.11] Will a tear fall from your eye
[02:28.91] And when they ask I'll tell them
[02:30.88] That I loved you when I die
[02:33.60] I'll forever hold to you
[02:38.25] I will
[02:41.96] And when I am cold I hold you still
[02:48.47]
