lyrics

Hope.
Hope to be loved.
Hope to be held at night,
when all the storms are over.
Oh hope, hope to be loved.
Hope that a rainy spring
means sunshine’s on its way.

Hold,
hold tight
cause it may not seem so now,
but soon we’ll be getting older.
Oh hold, hold onto everyone,
cause there’s not a single sign
our savior’s on his way.

It’s so easy to intellectualize
what love means.
You can get lost in the thought,
caught up, open eyes in bed,
or you can go back
to the things themselves.

To the bodies,
to the sensory perception
above and underneath,
to the feelings on the tongues and tips
of fingers against lusted lips,
to the five-act play of night and day,
to the waves of light and sound.
In the material love abounds.

Hope.
Hope to be loved.
Hope to be held at night,
when all the storms are over.
Oh hope, hope to be loved.
Hope that a rainy spring
means sunshine’s on its way.

It’s so easy to intellectualize
what love means.
You can get lost in the thought,
caught up, open eyes in bed,
or you can go back
to the things themselves.

To the bodies,
to the sensory perception
above and underneath,
to the feelings on the tongues and tips
of fingers against lusted lips,
to the five-act play of night and day,
to the waves of light and sound.
In the material love abounds.
