Wai - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

The lameness of an unborn child

The tidiness of cry

The only way I’m leaving here

Is curling up and die

The way our shelter moves above

Controlled by just my hand

Insured the death you’re dreaming of

The drowning down of man

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love

I only want to lay with you

My love, my love, my careful love

I’ve found the hard way love is true

Always love the smiling one

And rounding out will come

With bitter bile and heartless fun

And consciousness made numb

And fearful hate that’s stemming out

From fear and only fear

Has made your inner croco shout

And keep his victims here

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love

I only want to lay with you

My love, my love, my careful love

I’ve found the hard way love is true

A creature born in listlessness

His hatred to become

It’s here his love is swollen in

And consciousness made numb

And relegate your youth and trust

Your table and your skin

And share the love the godly must

And hold it til the end

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love

I only want to lay with you

My love, my love, my careful love

I’ve found the hard way love is true

I only want to lay with you

My love, my love, my careful love

I’ve found the hard way love is true
