Mystery Of Love by Sufjan Stevens

Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried
I built your walls around me
White noise, (1)________ an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet (2)__________ the ground
Hand of God, deliver me

Oh, woah woe is me
The (3)__________ time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love

Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter
Like Hephaestion, who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?

Oh, woah woe is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm (4)__________ to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder (5)______________ me

How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what (6)____________________ does it make
When this (7)________ is over?
Shall I sleep (8)____________ your bed
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands upon my head
Till I breathe my last breath

Oh, woah woe is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love
