You cannot ask for love
It may come
If you wait
Year, after year, after year
Love is the tide it
Rises and falls
Strong like the ice, but
Gone with the thaw
Love is the rain that
Falls in the night
Hard in December
Dry in July
But I have you now
By the the throat by the pound
But I have you now
Gonna drink you down
What do you want from love?
What do you need?
Is it something sweet?
To make you feel complete?
Love like a rope can
Strangle or hold
Love like the wind won't
Do what it's told
Love like the fire that
Burns on the shore
Those flames can warm you
And they can destroy
But I have you now
By the the throat by the pound
But I have you now
Gonna drink you down
But I have you now
By the the throat by the pound
But I have you now
By the the throat by the pound, the pound
