A Tear And A Smile - Lyrics by Ndeg 233Ocello Meshell


Lyrics
When we make love
I feel it so deeply
When we make love I cry.
When you kiss my lipsthey burn with fear
For even a love that crownsmay crucify.
In the cradle of creationbetween the hand of love I diedand there you were
I was warmedamidst the gaze of your eyes,our minds woundedby the need for understanding,our bodies betrayed by time.
Do you hear mecan you taste my painfor love has no other desirebut to fulfill itself.
But to deny yourself the pleasureof that pain
Is to love selfishly.
