Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Dec. 20, 2016]

As the essence bleeds out of me
Left with a presence all to see
Spiral constellation of sound
Led the path, the soul unwound

Woke today to a life called man
My evolution close at hand
Left my past, the future unfolds
New reasons for my story untold

In the wake of love
In the wake of love

And so hope is peace in me
All I ever wanted was to be free
Control desires oh I wish
But what is this that's in my dish?
Woman hurts like hell you know
But the fear is worse than love if slow

So onward plummet in our art
Life seems like a giddy dart
A trust becomes an only chance
To perform a stage of glory dance
I'd like to stash it in a drawer
Leave and forget by the nearest door
A bird in search by the window
Felt no alarm, the calm and still

In the wake of love
In the wake of love

And so hope is peace in me
All I ever wanted was to be free
Control desires oh I wish
But what is this that's in my dish?
And woman hurts like hell you know
But the fear is worse than love if slow

Wooh ooh ooh
Wooh ooh ooh
Wooh ooh ooh ooh
[Repeated to end of song]
