Hope to Be Loved

Hope
Hope to be loved
Hope to be held at night
When all the storms are over
Oh hope, hope to be loved
Hope that a rainy spring
Means sunshine’s on its way
Hold
Hold tight
Cause it may not seem so now
But soon we’ll be getting older
Oh hold, hold onto everyone
Cause there’s not a single sign
Our savior’s on his way
It’s so easy to intellectualize
What love means
You can get lost in the thought
Caught up, open eyes in bed
Or you can go back
To th things themselves
To th bodies
To the sensory perception
Above and underneath
To the feelings on the tongues and tips
Of fingers against lusted lips
To the five-act play of night and day
To the waves of light and sound
In the material love abounds
Hope
Hope to be loved
Hope to be held at night
When all the storms are over
Oh hope, hope to be loved
Hope that a rainy spring
Means sunshine’s on its way
It’s so easy to intellectualize
What love means
You can get lost in the thought
Caught up, open eyes in bed
Or you can go back
To the things themselves
To the bodies
To the sensory perception
Above and underneath
To the feelings on the tongues and tips
Of fingers against lusted lips
To the five-act play of night and day
To the waves of light and sound
In the material love abounds
