Go Gently

[Verse 1] Like a mountain, the clouds clamber over me I was far from my home when she opened me And stole my heart from out of my breast Like an ocean, your arms, they did flow to me Brought me in to your waves I was hopelessly bound to never do better than this [Chorus] Whatever it takes I would walk over fire just to lay By your side and I don't have to stay It's okay, one second's enough For to be by your side I'll be gone by the morning's first light Before your weary head, it does rise I'll go quiet, go gently, my love [Verse 2] Like a voyaging boat, I have rocky spells But they come and they go, you could never tell I was sinking just thinking about you And like a white circling bird I was floating Like a long winding road, I was open Like a maid in the night, I was hoping [Chorus] Whatever it takes I would walk over fire just to lay By your side and I don't have to stay It's okay, one second's enough For to be by your side I'll be gone by the morning's first light Before your weary head, it does rise I'll go quiet, go gently, my love [Post-Chorus] Oh Oh, you'll never be gone as long as I'm living And all of me heart is all that I'm giving For one night, for one second's enough Oh, and there'll be a time where I'm surely dying And lay by my side, but don't you be crying 'Cause I'll go quiet, go gently, my love
