Layla

I drew near to the house of Layla It was then I heard her call Her sweet voice made me wish that it would never end at all Oh you say you see some good in me It's only from her light Take this being gone from me, don't look to her delight She was pleased with me, she drew me nearer She took me into her retreat Oh she kept my company, she spoke to me She let me sit at her feet Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla And then she came close to me, the veils fell from my sight She dazzled me, she bewildered me Confused me with her light Well you say you see some good in me, it's only from her light Take this being gone from me Don't look to her delight And then she took me, and then she possessed me She showed her meaning to me I thought my soul would be her ransom I thought that she was me Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla And then she slew me, she tore me to pieces Her blood stained like a die And when I was dead, she brought me to life My star shone in her sky Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Layla Oh Layla Layla Layla Layla
