Fairest Isle (Venus) from King Arthur, or the British Worthy (1691) [Bonus Track] - Anne Sofie von Otter, Bengt Forsberg, Schwedischer Rundfunkchor & Gunnar Andersson

I never meant to leave you there, a crown of roses in your hair Along with everything you've ever feared In every step I see our face, and even though I'm miles away Just close your eyes, and you can feel me here And feel me here Don't give up even when I'm gone Don't give up From the grave I'll crawl through The pouring rain for you I would pay the cost To be in your arms again The fire I would walk through For all the pain I caused you Oh, I would pay the costs To be in your arms again To be in your arms again To be in your arms again Now, I'll always be right where you were No borders can keep us apart And on the other side, I'll meet you there So bury me and lock me in I'll find a way to rise again I'll break away to find you anywhere Oh, anywhere Don't give up even when I'm gone Don't give up From the grave I'll crawl through The pouring rain for you I would pay the cost To be in your arms again The fire I would walk through For all the pain I caused you Oh, I would pay the costs To be in your arms again To be in your arms again To be in your arms again (Oh, yeah) From the grave I'll crawl through The pouring rain for you I would pay the cost To be in your arms again Fire I would walk through For all the pain I caused you Oh, I would pay the costs To be in your arms again To be in your arms again To be in your arms again

If it were love, I would give that love every second I had And I do Did I know where he'd lead me to? Did I plan doing all of this for the love of a man? Well, I let it happen anyhow And what I'm feeling now Has no easy explanation Reason plays no part Heaven, help my heart I love him too much What if he saw my whole existence Turning around a word, a smile, a touch One of these days, and it won't be long He'll know more about me than he should All my dreams will be understood No surprise, nothing more to learn From the look in my eyes Don't you know that time is not my friend? I'll fight it to the end Hoping to keep the best of moments When the passion starts Heaven, help my heart The day that I find Suddenly, I've run out of secrets Suddenly, I'm not always on his mind Maybe it's best to love a stranger Well, that's what I've done Heaven, help my heart
