| William:
|
| Mother I can hear your foot fall now
|
| A soft disturbance in the dead fall how
|
| It precedes you like a black smoke pall
|
| Still the wanting comes in waves
|
| And you delivered me from danger, then
|
| Pulled my cradle from the reedy glen
|
| Swore to save me from the world of men
|
| Still the wanting comes in waves, in waves, and waves (Ooh, ooh, oooooooh)
|
| And the wanting comes in waves (Ooh, ooh, oooooooh)
|
| And the wanting comes in waves (Ooh, ooh, oooooooh)
|
| And I want this night, and I want this night, ohh…
|
| The Queen:
|
| How I made you, I wrought you, I pulled you
|
| From ore I labored you, from cancer I cradled you, and now
|
| This is how I am repaid, this is how I am repaid?
|
| Remember when I found you the miseries that hounded you
|
| And I gave you motion, anointed with lotions, and now
|
| This is how I am repaid, this is how I am repaid?
|
| William:
|
| Mother hear this proposition, right:
|
| Grant me freedom to enjoy this night
|
| And I’ll return to you at break of light
|
| For the wanting comes in waves, and waves, and waves (Ooh, ooh, oooooooh)
|
| Still the wanting comes in waves (Ooh, ooh, oooooooh)
|
| Still the wanting comes in waves (Ooh, ooh, oooooooh)
|
| Still the wanting comes in waves (Ooh, ooh, oooooooh)
|
| And you owe me life, and you owe me life, oh The Queen:
|
| And if I grant you this favor to hand you
|
| Your life for the evening, I will retake by morning; |
| and so Consider it your debt repaid, consider it your debt repaid, repaid, repaid! |
