The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face[live]

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars

were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies.

and the first time

ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like the trembling heart of

a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love.

And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last and last and last

till the end of time

The first time

ever I saw your face, your face,

your face, your face your face
