Beyond Love Lyrics - Singles - The The

Move away from the window and into the light 

There are some things in this life that you just can't fight 

It's as if the spirits above have cast a little spell upon us 

It's as if Heaven above is beckoning us 

So let us take off our crosses and lay them in a tin 

And let our weakness become virtue instead of sin 

Our bodies stand naked as the day they were born 

And tremble like animals before a coming storm 

Take me beyond love up to something above 

Upon this bed, between these sheets 

Take me to a happiness beyond human reach 

The force of life is rushing through our veins 

In and out like the tide it comes in waves 

The drops of semen and the clots of blood 

Which may, one day, become like us 

With outstretched hands reaching beyond love 

And up to something above 

Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old 

Let me feed upon your breast and draw closer to your soul 

Let me stay with you tonight and I'll offer you my world 

I'll take you to the Angels if you'll take me to myself 

Take me beyond love up to something above 

Upon this bed, between these sheets 

Take me to a happiness beyond human reach 

Beyond the grasp of lust beyond the need for trust 

Beyond the gaze of the sick and the lame 

Beyond the stretch of human pain
