You cannot ask for love It may come If you wait Year after year after year Love is the tide it Rises and falls Strong like the ice but Gone with the thaw Love is the rain that Falls in the night Hard in December Dry in July But I have you now By the the throat by the pound But I have you now Gonna drink you down What do you want from love? Whatdo you need? Is it something sweet? To make you feel complete? Love like a rope can Strangle or hold Love like the wind won't do what it's told Love like the fire that Burns on the shore Those flames can warm you And they can destroy But I have you now By the the throat by the pound But I have you now By the the throat by the pound
