Nature

maybe this was real love
the hounding of the flesh
and i don't know your news
far out west is a creature
it complicates you, berates you
maybe one more night
of moving under you
of letting you be
the one who raises and lifts me
sets me down and regives me
and the nature of your world
is dark and beautiful
darkness i can lose
if you let me go
holding on for god
you move like an animal
move through the rushes that hold me close
and i can't stand your love
i can't stand without it
i can't stand the rhythm that holds me close
in this darkness all i wanted was real love from you
and you hold me down while you kiss me
but still you take my breath away
maybe this was real love
the hounding of the flesh
and is all i can do
as a young man i raised you
with both hands i forgave you
maybe one more night
the master in your hands
in the morning i will be
the stranger who broke through
let you down, i can't hold you
and when you kiss me, love
you can be dark and beautiful
darkness i can lose
if you let me go
holding on for god
you move like an animal
move through the rushes that hold me close
and i can't stand your love
i can't stand without it
i can't stand the rhythm that holds me close
in this darkness all i wanted was real love from you
and you hold me down while you kiss me
but still you take my breath away
[instrumental break]
this is real love
i will kill for you
this is real love
i will kill for you
this is real love
i will kill for you
this is real love
