Testo On Love - Lisa Hannigan feat. Glen Hansard
Testo della canzone On Love (Lisa Hannigan feat. Glen Hansard), tratta dall'album The Prophet (Music from the Motion Picture)
When love beckons to you, follow him
Though his ways are hard and steep
And when his wings enfold you, yield to him
Though he hides a sword among them
And when he speaks to you, believe in him
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
Love will crown and crucify you
And though for your growth so he is for your pruning
Love will caress your tenderest branches
And shake every clinging root
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself
He threshes and sieves you, he grinds and he kneads you
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire
That you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast
All these things shall love do unto you
That you may know the secrets of your heart
And in that knowledge become a fragment
A fragment of life's heart
Now if in your fear, you seek only love's peace and love's pleasure
Better cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing floor
Into a seasonless world where you
Shall laugh, but not all your laughter
And weep and weep, but not all of your tears
Love gives not but itself
And takes not but from itself
Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed
For love is enough
You should say, "I am in the heart of God"
You cannot direct the course of love
If love it finds you worthy, directs your course
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
To come home in the evening with gratitude
Then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
And a song of praise on your lips
