Would That I

[00:19.45] True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
[00:23.19] A willow dancing on air before covering me
[00:27.15] Under cotton and calicoes
[00:30.22] Over canopy dapple long ago
[00:37.52] True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
[00:41.49] That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
[00:45.38] Must be felled for to fight the cold
[00:48.95] I fretted fire but that was long ago
[00:54.71]
[00:59.77] And it's not tonight (oh, oh)
[01:03.56] Where I'm set alight (oh, oh)
[01:07.55] And I blink in sight (oh)
[01:10.91] Of your blinding light (oh)
[01:14.06] Oh, it's not tonight (oh, oh)
[01:17.92] Where you hold me tight (oh, oh)
[01:22.27] Light the fire bright (oh)
[01:24.54] Oh, let it blaze, alright (oh)
[01:28.48] Oh, but you're good to me (oh, oh)
[01:31.02] Oh, you're good to me (oh, oh)
[01:32.55] Oh, but you're good to me, baby (ooh)
[01:38.67]
[01:49.62] With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
[01:53.41] Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
[01:57.26] Settle soft and as pure as snow
[02:00.86] I fell in love with the fire long ago
[02:06.03]
[02:08.35] With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
[02:11.61] Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
[02:15.58] I was fixed on your hand of gold
[02:19.03] Laying waste to my lovin' long ago
[02:24.27]
[02:29.79] But that's not tonight (oh, oh)
[02:33.64] Where I'm set alight (oh, oh)
[02:37.22] And I blink in sight (oh)
[02:40.97] Of your blinding light (oh)
[02:44.30] Oh, and it's not tonight (oh, oh)
[02:48.41] Where you hold me tight (oh, oh)
[02:52.02] Light the fire bright (oh)
[02:55.12] Oh, let it blaze, alright, honey (oh)
[02:58.82] Oh, but you're good to me (oh, oh)
[03:00.81] Oh, you're good to me (oh, oh)
[03:02.90] Oh, but you're good to me, baby
[03:07.60]
[03:12.86] So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain
[03:15.57] Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
[03:19.85] Long as amber of ember glows
[03:23.42] All the "would that I'd loved" is long ago
[03:28.72]
[03:31.07] But it's not tonight (oh, oh)
[03:34.51] Where I'm set alight (oh, oh)
[03:38.43] And I blink in sight (oh)
[03:41.34] Of your blinding light (oh)
[03:44.44] Oh, and it's not tonight (oh, oh)
[03:49.42] When you hold me tight (oh, oh)
[03:53.15] Light the fire bright (oh)
[03:56.29] Oh, let it blaze alright (oh)
[03:59.83] Oh, but you're good to me (oh, oh)
[04:01.47] Oh, you're good to me (oh, oh)
[04:03.45] Oh, but you're good to me (oh, oh)
[04:05.30] Oh, you're good to me (oh, oh)
[04:09.32] You're good to me (oh, oh)
[04:11.07] Oh, but you're good to me, baby
[04:14.62]
