Lisa Hannigan feat. Glen Hansard on love

Select language to translate this lyric

When love beckons to you
Follow him
Though his ways are hard and steep
And 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
Look for your growth so years for your blooming
Love will caress your tenuous branches
And shake every clinging root
Like sheathes of corn he gathers you unto himself
He threshes and sivs you
He grinds and tenets you
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire
That you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast
