It's easier not to be wise   And measure these things by your brains   I sank into Eden with you   Alone in the church by and by      I'll read to you here, save your eyes   You'll need them, your boat is at sea   Your anchor is up, you've been swept away      And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate   To leave you there by yourself, chained to fate      I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you, fear is not the end of this   I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you      It's easier not to be great   And measure these things by your eyes   We long to be here by his resolve   Alone in the church by and by      To cradle the baby in space   And leave you there by yourself, chained to fate      I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you, fear is not the end of this   I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you      I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you      Oh, now we took it back too far, only love can save us now   All the riddle that you burn, all come runnin' back to you   All these rhythms that you hide, only love can save us now   All the riddle that you burn, yeah, yeah, yeah      I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you, fear is not the end of this   I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you      I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you   I alone love you, I alone tempt you   I alone love you
