(+) First Woe
[Verse 1]
Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time
that you kissed me
Boundless by the time
I cried
I built your walls
around me
White noise,
what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet
above the ground
Hand of God, deliver me
[Chorus 1]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The first time
that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be
the mystery of love
[Verse 2]
Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love
that I received
From my brother's daughter
Like Hephaestion, who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?
[Chorus 2]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on
your shoulder reminds me
[Verse 3]
How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference
does it make
When this love is over?
Shall I sleep
within your bed
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands
upon my head
Till I breathe
my last breath
[Chorus 3]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The last time
that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be
the mystery of love
