And here I am softer than a shower
And here I am to garland you with flowers
To lay you down in a clover'd bed
The stars, a roof above our heads

And all my life I've never felt the tremor
All my life - that now disturbs my fingers
I'll lay you down in a clover'd bed
The stars, a roof above our heads

And we'll lie 'til the corncrake crows
Bereft the weight of our summer clothes
And I'd wager all
The hazards of love
The hazards of love

And take my hand, and cradle it in your hand
And take my hand to feel the pull of quicksand.
I'll lay you down in a clover'd bed
The stars, a roof above our heads

And we'll lie 'til the corncrake crows
Bereft the weight of our summer clothes
And I'd wager all
The hazards of love
The hazards of love
The hazards of love
