Song of Solomon

Sara Groves · Past the Wishing [2000]

Disenchanted love and an intimacy that's broken

The symbol of all trust, used to self-gratify

In the middle of it all Solomon is singing

You are my bride, my perfect one



Sweet song of Solomon

Remind us of love much purer than our own

Sweet song of Solomon

Remind us of love much purer than our own



The goodness of human love is taken for granted

We turn it into a lust that tears us apart

We give up God's gifts for dust and ashes

And blame him for the pain growing in our hearts



Keep on singing Solomon

Keep on singing Solomon

I'm for you and you're for me and we've been set apart

Place me like a seal over your heart
