The Powers That Be

It was a time and place
 The way that you held my face
 Until it was black and blue
 When I gave it all to you
 The way that you'd always pace
 Whenever you felt my grace
 It's all coming back to me
 It's all coming back to me
 With all the powers that be
 I'd be dead to you right now
 I'm glad I never held my breath too long
 And I'm glad I knew we'd part before death
 Or death that you'd give me
 "I'll give you clothes and food"
 When you asked me to accompany you
 I'm glad I learned to trust my intuition
 And not trust your selfish attitude
 You can be so rude
 It's all coming back to me
 With all the powers that be
 I'd be dead to you right now
 I'm glad I never held my breath too long
 And I'm glad I knew we'd part before death
 Or death that you'd give me
