[Verse 1]
WhAy do you stand by the wEindow
AbDandoned to beauty and prAide
The thAorn of the night in your bEosern
The spDear of the age in you sAide
LAost in the rages of frEagrance
LDost in the rags of remAorse
LAost in the waves of a sEickness
That lDoosens the high silver nAerves
[Chorus]
O chEosen love, O frozen love
O tDangle of matter and ghAost
O dEarling of angels, demons and saints
And the whDole broken-hearted hAost
GAentle this sEoul
[Verse 2]
And come fAorth from your cloud of unknEowing
Dkiss the cheek of the mAoon
The nAew Jerusalem glEowing
Why tDarry all night in this rAuin
And lAeave no word of discEomfort
Or lDeave no observer to mAourn
But clAimb on your tears and be sEilent
Like the rDose on its ladder of thAorn
[Chorus]
O chEosen love, O frozen love
O tDangle of matter and ghAost
O dEarling of angels, demons and saints
And the whDole broken-hearted hAost
GAentle this sEoul
[Verse 3]
Then lAay your rose on the fEire
The fDire give up to the sAun
The sAun give over to splEendor
In the Darms of the High Holy AOne
For The HAoly One dreams of a lEetter
And he DrDeams of a letter's dAeath
Oh blAess the continuous stEutter
Of the wDord being made into flAesh
[Chorus]
O chEosen love, O frozen love
O tDangle of matter and ghAost
O dEarling of angels, demons and saints
And the whDole broken-hearted hAost
GAentle this sEoul
DGentle this sAoul
