A Tear and a Smile-Meshell Ndegeocello

[00:00.00] When we make love I feel it so deeply [00:25.47]When we make love I cry [00:30.21]When you kiss me my lips they burn with fear [00:34.71]For even a love that crowns may crucify [00:38.25]In the cradle of creation between the hand of love I died and there you were [00:45.42]I was warmed amidst the gaze of your eyes, our minds wounded [00:48.27]by The need for understanding, our bodies betrayed by time [00:50.01]Do you hear me can you taste my pain for love has no other desire but to fulfill itself [00:59.25]But to deny yourself the pleasure of that pain is to love selfishly [01:34.92]I stood there [02:06.54]Your heart lay captive in a cage fashioned by your fears not knowing what to say [02:15.90]You have many lovers and yet I alone love you far beyond any lily white fairy tale [02:26.37]I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart for the joys of the multitude [02:34.98]And I would not have the tears that sadness makes to flow from my every part turn into laughter [02:50.91]I want the hunger for your love and beauty to fill me from the depths of my spirit
