it's easier not to be wise

and measure these things by your brains

i sank into eden with you

alone in the church by and by



i'll read to you here, save your eyes

you'll need them, your boat is at sea

your anchor is up, you've been swept away

and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate

to leave you there, by yourself,

chained to fate



i alone love you

i alone tempt you

i alone love you

fear is not the end of this!



it's easier not to be great

and measure these things by your eyes

we long to be here by his resolve

alone in the church by and by

to cradle the baby in space

and leave you there by yourself

chained to fate



oh, now, we took it back too far,

only love can save us now, all these riddles

that you burn

all come runnin' back to you, all these

rhythms that you hide

only love can save us now, all these riddles

that you burn

yeah, yeah, yeah
