Anonymous Proposition Love me as if someday you'd hate me For what I give is yours without a name To fill your night-long needs Only as long as you say This time you'll learn that love is just a slave To where the heart beats stronger This time you needn't turn a promise forever I could have been a boy from long ago you've left forgotten And lately you've wondered where he's gone Oh, it's never old to me not as long as love lives in this hour Take me after all you've lost and never wanted Somewhere between all the nights you've tasted wine of men forever Untill they left you to wake alone Aw, but it's never sad to me Not when our years live in these hours And darling love me as if someday you'd hate me For what I am is here in front of you longing to know How long you'd care for me This time you'll learn that love is just a slave To the way our heart beats stronger That's where you stay Tim Buckley Tim Buckley Music ASCAP Released 1970 Elektra Records - “Lorca” Running time 5:55
