Lend Your Love to Me Tonight — текст песни (Emerson, Lake and Palmer)

(Lake, Sinfield)

Lend your love to me tonight
Don`t ask me who or what is right
I have no strength I cannot fight
Just flood my darkness with your light
I need no face I need no name
No martyr`s artificial shame
No crucifix I am not lame
And yet I ache to feel the flame
Arrest the sun and shoot the moon
The lamp of laughter dies too soon
To live reflected in a spoon
Makes it too hard to stay in tune
Believe me

Unlock the door and unbar the gate
I`ll write I love you on the slate
And while St. Peter`s thieves debate
The price of time I will not wait
Or let the star blind road of fate
Confuse me
Abuse me
Misuse me

Release my soul release my eyes
A clock unwinds a flower dies
Dishonesty disqualifies
You win the race but lose the prize
A tattered cloak behind the throne
It is unseen it is not known
Behind this face I am alone
I would give everything I own
To touch you...

Just lend your love to me once more
Don`t ask me what I came back for
Just watch the moonlight cross the floor
And as your blood begins to roar
You`ll feel your senses spin and soar
You will become my meteor
Divine and universal whore
Complete me
