Mystery of Love - Sufjan Stevens

Written by：Sufjan Stevens

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

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

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

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

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

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
