Lover, Beloved - Suzanne Vega

Lover Beloved

Behold each of these

The lover pursues.

The beloved one fLees.

Lover Beloved

From countries apart

Each one alone

In the land of the heart

Each one alone in the land of the heart

Lover Beloved

Forever stripped bare.

Turn in the night

And it’s he who is there

Liar and lover

And hero, and thief

Turn in the night

And he brings no relief

Brother, or husband

He brings no relief

The man across the Styx, will send

Flowers from beyond the end

The man across the Styx will be

Her lover for eternity

Lover Beloved

Her brave cavalier

All of his love

Raising hatred and fear

Lover Beloved

Each craving the touch

Each bears the burden

Of loving too much

Each bears the burden

Of loving too much

The man across the Styx, will send

Flowers from beyond the end

The man across the Styx will be

Her lover for eternity

Lover Beloved

Behold both of these.

Lover pursues.

Beloved one flees.

Lover Beloved

From countries apart

Each one alone

In the land of the heart

Each one alone in the land of the heart.
