Love's As Strong

"When love has got you in its throes

Even the summer's heat just freezes your soul

And the sweetest song -

It just clanks along

And the morning dew just says goodnight

And leaves your heart undone

It doesn't do to try and understand

Nothin' that's as good as love ever made a lot of sense

Like how the eagles fly

And how the rattlers slide

And what it is that comes to bind a woman and her man

Love's as strong as death my love

Unyielding as the grave

Relentless as the desert sun

And rivers cannot wash my love away

Lord, I won't let it wash away

And many waters cannot quench love

There ain't nothing left to soothe you with

Love has marked your soul the way the sun has marked your skin

And there ain't no way to find no shade

When your soul's the very thing

That feeds the blaze that burns within you

It just makes your cold heart melt

The flames that burn as white as the very flames of hell

So just hold on tight

'Cause it's a long ~ wild ride

When you finally find the grace to love another as yourself

Love's as strong as death my love

Unyielding as the grave

Relentless as the desert sun

And rivers cannot wash my love away ~ away!

I won't let it wash away

And many waters ~ it cannot quench love"
