Anonymous Proposition - Tim Buckley

Love me, as if someday you’d hate me

For what I give is yours without a name

To fill your night long needs

Only as long as you say

This time you’ll learn that love is just a slave

To where the heart beats stronger

This time you’d need in turn or promise forever

I could have been a boy from long ago you’ve left forgotten

And lately you’ve wondered where he’s gone

Oh, it’s never hold to me not as long as love lives in this house

Take me, after all you’ve lost and never wanted

Somewhere between all the nights you’ve tasted wine of men forever

Until they left you to wake alone

Aw, but it’s never said to me

Not when the years live in these hours

And darling love me as if someday you’d hate me

For what I am is here in front of you longing to know

How long you’d care for me

This time you’ll learn that love is just a slave

To where your heart beats stronger

That’s where you stay
