Song Of Songs

Words & Music © Bobbie Townsend

 

My lover belongs to me and I to him

It’s something we don’t control, it just is

Run to me lover, like a gazelle disguised as a man

On a misty mountain

I’m singing for you tonight at the new-sprung fountain


My lover shines, he stands out among the rest

Our time apart is just some kind of test

Touching the top of the scepter

All my dreams, every one came true

Golden boy I’ve never seen the likes of you


I’ve been told do not to stir up love before its time

Do not stir up love before its time

Song of songs I sing for you and everything we are

Do not stir up love before its time


You are beautiful, beloved your eyes are doves

Give me your strength, I am faint with love

This is my lover, this is my friend

Always standing tall and true

That’s why all the maiden girls love you


I’ve been told do not to stir up love before its time

Do not stir up love before its time

Song of songs I sing for you and everything we are

Do not stir up love before its time


Kiss me with your kisses, better than wine

Open to me, beloved perfect one

I opened the door to my lover

But no one was there, he had already gone

I called to him but no answer did come


I’ve been told do not to stir up love before its time

Do not stir up love before its time

Song of songs I’ll wait for you and everything we are

Do not stir up love before its time


My lover belongs to me and I belong to him

My lover shines, he stands out among all the rest

Kiss me with kisses, they’re better than wine

Do not stir up love before its own time

Do not stir up love before its time
