This Love Runs Too Deep

My love for you, it runs deep. My love for you, it runs too deep. It knows nothing of tenderness, nor relief. It runs through the thickest air of the night Grows heavier with each clap of thunder Grows darker with each bolt of light. It swells with rain And it promises that it will drown us, dear, If we ever dare to sleep. This love I have for you, it runs deep. In every way that we can know, We know this runs too deep. It tastes nothing as our flesh Enters its vicious mouth and goes down its godless throat. It tastes nothing but it hungers just the same. My love for you, it runs deep. My love for you, it runs too deep. I try to hide from it, I pray for its death. But it finds me, and it shakes me from my sleep. These dreams I have, my love for you won’t let me keep. These dreams I have, of loving anyone or anything Please let me love anything but you.
