Like a mountain, the clouds clamber over me
I was far from my home when she opened me
And stole my heart from out of my breast
Like an ocean, your arms, they did flow to me
Brought me in to your waves
I was hopelessly bound to never do better than this
Whatever it takes
I would walk over fire just to lay
By your side and I don't have to stay
It's okay, one second's enough
For to be by your side
I'll be gone by the morning's first light
Before your weary head, it does rise
I'll go quiet, go gently, my love
Like a voyaging boat, I have rocky spells
But they come and they go, you could never tell
I was sinking just thinking about you
And like a white circling bird I was floating
Like a long winding road, I was open
Like a maid in the night, I was hoping
Whatever it takes
I would walk over fire just to lay
By your side and I don't have to stay
It's okay, one second's enough
For to be by your side
I'll be gone by the morning's first light
Before your weary head, it does rise
I'll go quiet, go gently, my love
Oh
Oh, you'll never be gone as long as I'm living
And all of me heart is all that I'm giving
For one night, for one second's enough
Oh, and there'll be a time where I'm surely dying
And lay by my side, but don't you be crying
'Cause I'll go quiet, go gently, my love
