Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Even If Love
Once again in the world
Of twelve-hundred feelings
All in electric lights
We see what we can

I love the sound of wind
Blowing at night through trees
From the roof I can see tombs
Past the houses of the city

And I have been yours
In foul and in praying
And I loved to look at you
From the side at night
With music playing
And love will protect you
To the edge of the wood
And a monster will get you
And love does no good

And even if love were not what I wanted
Love would make love the thing most desired
