I’ve let my longing sing
So my lungs take no peace
In hopes another part may collapse
And be offered under your feet
With sharp notes of tune
Where my tongue begin to bleed,
In hopes you’ll finally listen
And hear my constant plead
Where wanting and desires grow
All and nothing I have to offer,
In spite of all my grieving torment
For your love I’ll always suffer
If not for you then for another
As eager longing begin to burn,
In spite of trials I continue to sing
This only song I have ever known
