Please Don't Give Me What I Want

Hold off
 How long
 Love how long
 How long
 Hold off
 How long
 Love how long
 How long
 Oh please don't give me what I want
 And protect me from the quake to come
 My dear I know the hounds are near
 Oh I fickle as a pendulum
 I trembled in the winter pale
 Wrecked to the depths of my wickedness
 And breathless luckless though I am
 The heart of a lion inside the lamb
 
 Won't you come for me
 Across the line
 And I hold my heart if
 Only only only only
 Please don't give me what I want
 And forsake my basest whim
 There come for our embrace by night
 And I'm harbouring my sin
 Darling you know I'm afraid of leaving
 Mornings light bears the cross I stood
 And I wish I was good if
 Only only only only
 I could
 
 Won't you come for me
 Across the line
 And I hold my heart if
 Only only only only
