Lend Your Love To Me Tonight (Live, Teatro Municipale, Piacenza, 28 November 2012)

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 flames

Arrest the sun and shoot the moon

The lamp of laughter dies too soon

To live reflected in its bloom

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

While some petty 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

The clock unwinds, the flower dies

Dishonesty disqualifies

You win the race but lose the prize

A tattered cloak behind a throne

It is not seen, 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 mirror

Lend your love to me tonight
