Three Teasdale songs

Song Cycle by Michael Djupstrom (b. 1980)

1. I would live in your love [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English

   I would live in your love as the sea grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, 
   drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, 
   I would follow your soul as it leads.
