lyrics

between four eyes i've lost my life
outside their view is obscure light
they look like they're cast from some shimmering sand
oh god, come calm my trembling hands

if two paths diverged from a road in wood
and each led to a maidens body bathed in gold
i should not waiver empty as my pockets stand
oh god, come calm these trembling hands

steady feet urge me forward, keep forging ahead
but my shaky hands prefer the path i've led
i should not linger lost as i am
oh god, come calm these trembling hands

so is it, i ask, for the love a girl
worth it to give up what you do in the world
that makes it momentous to be called a man
oh god come calm these trembling hands

but can i call this courtly cherade real love
when its not what i'm lost in but its just enough
for me for a spell to forget where i am
oh god, come calm these trembling hands
