You should have listened When I told you to leave You should have left When I begged you please I could have been a different man I could have risen from stricken knees There’s no answer to The wind’s whispered riddle There’s no more room With me caught in the middle Time keeps destroying us Little by little Let love lead us Further down Our own Jesus Let love lead us I should have listened To the night’s cold warning Just as another couple In passion warming Woke to find themselves In the midst of morning Unlike a fairy tale With a hidden meaning And so much desire Still in feeling What choice other than Living or leaving? Let love lead us Further down Our own Jesus Let love lead us Somewhere between love and lust Let love lead us |

Is this meant to be a song? It sure reads like one...you should try to find someone who'll write a melody for it. Excellent poem! ![]() |
