Come Away With Me

You are the lily of my valley; come my lover, come You are the fairest of ten thousand, oh beloved one When I sleep, my heart awakens; listening for my love In the cleft upon the mountain, you call me your dove Come away, come away with me I am yours and you are mine; you’re taking me away When I am lost in your embrace, there’s nothing I can say Gazing on your radiance, I’m breathless and amazed You stole my heart, oh King of mine; I’m in a lovesick daze Run away, run away with me I hear your voice, it calls to me: “Arise, my perfect one” Day breaks forth and shadows flee; He beckons me to come Now we will run the rugged hills and soar the open sky You lift me on your wings of love; in freedom I can fly Come to me, come to me, my Dove Dance with me, my lovely one, though dark I may appear My love calls me His flawless one and beckons me to hear His voice is sweet with dripping myrrh So lovely is His face He looks at me, I’m overwhelmed I long for His embrace Let me fall, let me fall in love Turn your eyes, my heart grows faint I’m weakened with one glance Refresh me with your tender touch; I’m lost in your romance My heart cries for my Lover in the watches of the night You’ve ravished me and set me free, you are my one delight Come away, come away with me
