"Litany For A Return" lyrics

"Litany For A Return"
(English version of Jacques Brel's "Litanie Pour Un Retour")

My love
My heart
My sweet, oh
My sky
My fire
My heat, oh
My work
My spring
My veil
My honey
My bomb
My grail

My gate
My gold
My thrown, oh
My stock
My rock
My stone, oh
My night
My thirst
My hunger
My day
My bread
My water

My sail
My wave
My guide
My way
My blood
My strength
My fever
My ray

My song
My love
My wine
My joy
My dawn
My life
My faith
My cry

My love
My heart
My sweet, oh
My sky
My fire
My heat, oh
My body
My flesh
My yearning
All this, now you're returning
