Lyrics by kd.lang from the album " INGENUE "
SAVE ME
Save me
Save me from you
But pave me
The way to you
Lead me upon the captive free
Gracious and tame like love can be
Lead me upon
Spoil me
Spoil me with you
And soil me with the world of you
Watch over me with a mother's eyes
Judging my worth only to glorify
Watch over me
Save me save me
Save me save me
Carry
Carry me through
And bury all my doubts of you
Clothe my desire with spell or prayer
I'll shroud every sign of need I swear
Clothe my desire
Save me save me
Save me save me
Save me save me
Save me save me
THE MIND OF LOVE
Talking to myself here
Causing great concern for my health
Where is your head Kathryn
Where is your head
I'm trying hard to escape
This constant pull towards ache
Why do you fight Kathryn
Why do you fight
Surely help will arrive soon
And cure these self induced wounds
Why hurt yourself Kathryn
Why hurt yourself
Why hurt yourself
Can your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
I'm talking to myself again
It's causing great concernt for my health
Where is your head Kathryn
Where is your head
Where is your head Kathryn
Where is your head
Can your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
Can your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
Does your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
MISS CHATELAINE
Just a kiss
Just a kiss
I have lived just for this
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Just a smile just a smile
Hold me captive just a while
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Every time your eyes meet mine
Clouds of qualm
Burst into sunshine
Just a sigh just a sigh
Words
My love just reply
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine
Just a smile just a smile
Hold me captive
Just a while
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Cause every time your eyes meet mine
Clouds of qualm
Burst into sunshine
Just a kiss just a kiss
I have lived just for this
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine
WASH ME CLEAN
You swim
Swim through my veins
Drown me
In your reign
My desire
Carries no shame
My will
Will harbour no pain
Wash
Wash me clean
Mend my wounded seams
Cleanse my tarnished dreams
Drink
Drink from my spell
Quench
Love's drying well
Wash
Wash me clean
Mend my wounded seams
Cleanse my tarnished dreams
SO IT SHALL BE
Shadows
Now curtain the moon
But faith swears
It will shine again soon
Shine with love
You've been hiding from me
Your kiss
Has hindered my day
A longing
That won't go away
You just keep knocking
And waking my heart
Like daylight chasing the dark
I can exist being caught by your kiss
Willingly
Or grant you control
Of my body and soul
Ask it and so it shall be
Shadows
Now curtain the moon
Still faith swears
It will shine again soon
Shine with love
You've been hiding from me
With that love
You've been hiding from me
I can exist
Being caught by your kiss
Willingly
Or grant you control of my body and soul
Ask it and so it shall be
Ask it and so it shall be
STILL THRIVES THIS LOVE
I often wonder
Is it so
All I am holding
Wants let go
How could I manage
I don't know
And I often question
Is it so
Life's contradictions
Tend to grow
Spawning the choices
And the woe
But, still somehow thrives this love
Which I pray I'm worthy of
Still somehow thrives this love
I often wonder
Is it so
The lessons of patience
Are learned slow
And earnings of labour
May never show
But still, somehow, thrives this love
Which I pray
I'm worthy of
Still somehow thrives this love
SEASON OF HOLLOW SOUL
Keen to the shifting wind
I bend to it blind
To rid these kiss of sin
That must stay behind
Sour the fruit of neglect
The core of my doubt
Deprived are my veins you infect
With or without
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
The ground on which we leave on
How strangely fuels the season
Of hollow soul
Hollow soul
Seeds of uprooted chance
Are grains of goodbye
Waving boughs so slowly dance
Questioning why
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
The ground on which we leave on
How strangely fuels the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
Hollow soul
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
Hollow soul
OUTSIDE MYSELF
A thin ice
Covers my soul
My body's frozen
And my heart is cold
And still
So much about me is raw
I search for a place to unthaw
And something in me
Broods love into fear
It veils my vision, leaves my thoughts unclear
My eyes
From blue turn to grey
Hoping to mask what they say
I've been outside myself for so long
Any feeling I had is close to gone
I've been outside myself for so long
So long
I have been
In a storm of the sun
Basking, senseless to what I've become
A fool
To worship just light
When after all, it follows night
I've been outside myself
For so long
Any feeling I had is close to gone
I've been outside my self
For so long
I've been outside myself for so long
Any feeling I had is
Close to gone
I've been outside myself
For so long
So long
TEARS OF LOVE'S RECALL
Love
Thing of might and dread
Stays the savior and poison to all
Of heart and head
Love
Force of death and birth
Still lies naked when next to the truth
So spins the earth
The tears of love's recall
Like blood to
Chocolate fall
And love
The common salt of thirst
Runs like water that cuts through the lives
Of blessed and cursed
The tears of love's recall
Like blood to chocolate fall
Tears of love's recall
Like blood to chocolate
Fall
CONSTANT CRAVING
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin
And constant craving
Has always been
Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom
To its youth
Constant craving
Has always been
Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been
Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
