Way out there in the wilderness of love and pain,
Under the gentle arches we rode the silver streets,
Couldn't see a difference between gold or wooden cross,
Could never see where falling came in to love.

The hounded by love, hounded by the very thing you dreamed up,
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach,
Sent crashing to your knees,
Till only tender love understood the need you need with,
Understood the time it took,
To take you where nothing ever was.

Never was there once nothing everything once was,
Not dead but still and ready to be born anew,
Looking back now it all seems so clear,
Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a darkened room.

Then try your tender love, push it till there's nowhere left,
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore,
Nothing that will comfort you more,
More than tender love that understands the need you need with,
Understands the time it takes,
To only have love.

More than tender love that understands the need you need with,
Understands the time it takes,
To only have love.
Then try your tender love, push it till there's nowhere left,
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore,
Nothing that will comfort you more,

The hounded by love, hounded by the very thing you dreamed up,
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach,
Sent crashing to your knees,
Till only tender love understood the need you need with,
Understood the time it took,
To take you where nothing ever was.
