Lend Your Love To Me Tonight Lyrics - Works, Vol. 1 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

(Lake, Sinfield) 

Lend your love to me tonight 

Don't ask me who or what is right 

I have no strength I cannot fight 

Just flood my darkness with your light 

I need no face I need no name 

No martyr's artificial shame 

No crucifix I am not lame 

And yet I ache to feel the flame 

Arrest the sun and shoot the moon 

The lamp of laughter dies too soon 

To live reflected in a spoon 

Makes it too hard to stay in tune 

Believe me 

Unlock the door and unbar the gate 

I'll write I love you on the slate 

And while St. Peter's thieves debate 

The price of time I will not wait 

Or let the star blind road of fate 

Confuse me 

Abuse me 

Misuse me 

Release my soul release my eyes 

A clock unwinds a flower dies 

Dishonesty disqualifies 

You win the race but lose the prize 

A tattered cloak behind the throne 

It is unseen it is not known 

Behind this face I am alone 

I would give everything I own 

To touch you...
