Love Itself

Lyrics

The light came through the window
 Straight from the sun above
 ♪
 And so inside my little room
 There plunged the rays of love
 ♪
 In streams of light I clearly saw
 The dust you seldom see
 Out of which the nameless makes
 A name for one like me
 ♪
 I'll try to say a little more
 Love went on and on
 Until it reached an open door –
 Then love itself
 Love itself was gone
 ♪
 All busy in the sunlight
 
 The flecks did float and dance
 
 And I was tumbled up with them
 
 In formless circumstance
 
 I'll try to say a little more
 Love went on and on
 Until it reached an open door –
 ♪
 Then love itself
 ♪
 Love itself was gone
 Then I came back from where I'd been
 
 My room, it looked the same –
 But there was nothing left between
 ♪
 The nameless and the name
 (Nameless and the name)
 ♪
 All busy in the sunlight
 The flecks did float and dance
 ♪
 And I was tumbled up with them
 In formless circumstance
 I'll try to say a little more
 Love went on and on
 ♪
 Until it reached an open door –
 Then love itself
 Love itself was gone
 ♪
 Love itself
 Love itself was gone
