"Lover, Beloved" lyrics
"Lover, Beloved"
Lover. Beloved
Behold each of these
The lover pursues
The beloved one flees
Lover. Beloved
From countries apart
Each one alone
In the land of the heart
Each one alone in the land of the heart
Lover. Beloved
Forever stripped bare
Turn in the night
And it's he who is there
Liar and lover
And hero, and thief
Turn in the night
And he brings no relief
Brother, or husband
He brings no relief
The man across the Styx will send
Flowers from beyond the end
The man across the Styx will be
Her lover for eternity
Lover. Beloved
Her brave cavalier
All of his love
Raising hatred and fear
Lover. Beloved
Each craving the touch
Each bears the burden
Of loving too much
Each bears the burden
Of loving too much
The man across the Styx will send
Flowers from beyond the end
The man across the Styx will be
Her lover for eternity
Lover. Beloved
Behold both of these
Lover pursues
Beloved one flees
Lover. Beloved
From countries apart
Each one alone
In the land of the heart
Each one alone in the land of the heart

All the grassy plains

Shelby Lynne - "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore" In my neighbourhood
We don't live so good
The rooms are small

I guess I heard it all
Cause the talk is loud
And the walls...
