Lyrics

What's right And what's wrong? Don't you hold me too lightly Two words as I've rounded them off To the nearest of ten For I gathered your body In envious capture In envious thought Oh forgive me, oh gods Or forgive me in fortune Forgive me in feeling it out for myself As I ought to have feelings for something As great as thou art Some great white rose Of youth, your pleasure Gives of my own arm Generous portions, wisely Breaks of my own heart I felt the arm's length While I've gone on my own way Conserve me, strange waters Come and obey me, strange waters Have it your own way So if you won't hold me I have no objections So if you won't please me I make no commands So if you don't trust me It's best if I drown
