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
