Hozier - Would That I lyrics

True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree Willow dancing on air before covering me Under cotton and calicoes Over canopy dapple long ago True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree Must be felled for to fight the cold I fretted fire but that was long ago And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh) And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) Your blinding light (Oooh) Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh) Oh, but you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, but you're good to me, baby With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat Settle soft and as pure as snow I fell in love with the fire long ago With each love I cut loose I was never the same Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame I was fixed on your hand of gold Laying waste to my loving long ago And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh) And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) Your blinding light (Oooh) Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh) Oh, but you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, but you're good to me, baby So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame Long as amber of ember glows All the "would that I loved" is long ago And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh) And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh) Your blinding light (Oooh) Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh) Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh) And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh) Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh) Oh, but you're good to me Oh, you're good to me Oh, but you're good to Oh, you're good to me You're good to me Oh, but you're good to me, baby
