[Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, James McAlister - Neptune lyrics]
Don’t you hold me too lightly to words
As I’ve rounded them off to
The nearest of ten
For I gathered your body in
Envious capture in envious thought
Oh forgive me
Oh gods or forgive me in fortune
Forgive me in feeling it out for myself
As I ought to have feelings for
Something as great as thou art
Some great white rose of youth
Your pleasure gives of my own heart
Generous portions wisely
Breaks of my own heart
I felt the arm’s length while I’ve
Gone on my own way
Conserve me, strange waters
Come and obey me, strange waters
Have it your own way
So if you won’t hold me, I have no objections
So if you won’t please me i make no commands
So if you don’t trust me
It’s best if I drown
