Lyrics for The Hazards Of Love 2 (Wager All)

And here I am Softer than a shower And here I am To garland you with flowers To lay you down in clover bed The stars, a roof above our heads And all my life I never felt the tremor And all my life That now disturbs my fingers I lay you down in clover bed The stars, a roof above our heads And we all lie 'til the Corn Crake crows Bereft of the weight of our summer clothes And I'd wager all The hazards of love The hazards of love And take my hand And cradle it in your hand And take my hand To feel the pull of quicksand I lay you down in clover bed The stars, a roof above our heads And we all lie 'til the Corn Crake crows Bereft of the weight of our summer clothes And I'd wager all The hazards of love The hazards of love The hazards of love The hazards of love
