Paroles de Zion

As a bride, blushing bides on the bed for the touch of her love to arrive Other passions call and loom but she will wait for her groom Just the same I am restless for you As the vagrant, dreams of vacant lands to plow, and a hearth to call home But each distance only fails him so he'll keep drifting through Just the same I am restless for you You loved me first and fully when nothing lovely existed All before then grew dim in the light of desire awakened And all else be cursed I choose rather this thirst No man, no land, no task for my hand ever soothes I stay restless for you All I am, was made for you and no other will do So I stay restless for you You loved me first and fully when nothing lovely existed And gifted grace til my heart could awaken, embrace, and return it All I see now every goodness, each beauty and blessing Are but tremor and wake and stir me further to love and to longing Only for you Does my soul wait Do my bones ache I'll not be satisfied Till my hopes and my eyes Both alight on that view There leave longing behind I'll discard my desire When I'm resting in you
