Beyond Love

[Verse 1] Move away from the window and into the light There are some things in this life that you just can't fight It's as if the spirits above have cast a little spell upon us It's as if heaven above is beckoning us So let us take off our crosses and lay them in a tin And let our weakness become virtue instead of sin Our bodies stand naked as the day they were born And tremble like animals before a coming storm [Chorus] Take me beyond love Up to something above Upon this bed, between these sheets Take me to a happiness beyond human reach [Verse 2] The force of life is rushing through our veins In and out like the tide it comes in waves The drops of semen and the clots of blood Which may, one day, become like us With outstretched hands reaching beyond love And up to something above [Bridge] Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old Let me feed upon your breast and draw closer to your soul Let me stay with you tonight and I'll offer you my world I'll take you to the angels if you'll take me to myself [Chorus] Take me beyond love Up to something above Upon this bed, between these sheets Take me to a happiness beyond human reach [Outro] Beyond the grasp of lust Beyond the need for trust Beyond the gaze of the sick and the lame Beyond the stench of human pain
