honeymoon

songs in songs

i love you  more than light more than mercy more than rain
love you more than air oh i love you more than breath
i love you more than madly i love you more than mad

,

until every grain of sand every teardrop sea
all the stars in heaven's skies were counted
i will love you till the mountains drown
till there is no rain and the wind no longer blows
till the sun has burned out and disappeared
till silence and darkness falls on the earth
till there is no day or time
dear i will love you still if hope had died
when all is silence my love i will love you still 

,

oh i love you more than dreams and rainbows on the sea
love you more than fountains more than life
my trust is steadfast it's a rock
i love you more than love my faith in you can never die
love you more than hope you are the life that flows in me

you quenched the thirst
smouldering coals that burned me to my core
stilled the hunger in my soul and evermore

you drowned my sorrows drowned my fears
drowned my pain in my father's tears
you freed my soul forsaken a prisoner of the mud
dear oh i love you more than my own blood

,

all songs were sung all stories told
every word in every tongue was spoke
when every clock has stopped
all the years and the ancient ages passed
until eternity has been spent
when all is peace
till then my love is how long my love i will love you

,

you are half of what i am i am your other half
in the eternal circle forever we will be one
you were made for me made to be by my side
oh darling,
i was born for you you were born to be my bride

your hand is mine mine is yours
my life is yours yours is mine
your charms have won my heart
my faith will buy your ring

when a man is a dweller on the threshold she's all he lives for,
wrap your songs around her soldier, wrap your words around her
wrap your dreams around her, wrap your love around her
