Love that kills

Waterboys · Other Songs - Waterboys

Will you take me slowly

will you lead me all the way

Will you sing me your songs

until I am ready for

The LOVE that kills

yeah!



I have known you in the

sheets and folds of many lifetimes

You were there when I was made

and I will speak to you in the language of dream until

Love comes my way

love that kills

yeah!



Hey I will ride on a dolphin, rain in my face,

wind in all of my sails

There's a shadow hard on my heels now,

but I'm still trying to, I'm still trying to...

Get to the place, where rolling rivers overspill

I have come a long way and I need my cup refilled



So when you come for me slowly

when you come knocking on my door

When the soul sings

and the man is still

I will be ready

I will be ready

Yes I will be ready for the love that kills

yeah!



The love that kills

the love that kills, Kills, kills

the love that kills
