Beyond Love - The The

Move away from the window and into the light

There are some things in this life that you just can’t fight

It’s as if the spirits above have cast a little spell upon us

It’s as if heaven above is beckoning us

So let us take off our crosses and lay them in a tin

And let our weakness become virtue instead of sin

Our bodies stand naked as the day they were born

And tremble like animals before a coming storm

Take me beyond love

Up to something above

Upon this bed, between these sheets

Take me to a happiness beyond human reach

The force of life is rushing through our veins

In and out like the tide it comes in waves

The drops of semen and the clots of blood

Which may, one day, become like us

With outstretched hands reaching beyond love

And up to something above

Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old

Let me feed upon your breast and draw closer to your soul

Let me stay with you tonight and I’ll offer you my world

I’ll take you to the angels if you’ll take me to myself

Take me beyond love
