Day In and Night Out Lyrics

Teach my poor body to hold you

Teach my faltering fingers to feel you

Teach me to love you, and I'll love you more 


Than you have been loved before 

I will comb your hair, I will wash your feet

I will hold to the place where our destinies meet

By the side of the river with a bee in my shoe

I will wait for you; I will wait for you

Day in and night out

Though I suffer within 


And I suffer without

I was not born for you, you were not born for me 


We were born for ourselves, and are both of us free 


To see everything that the waterbug sees

To follow our passion anywhere that we please

Day in and night out

Though we suffer within 


And we suffer without

If I were in heaven, and you were in hell 


I know very well to eat my pride 


I'd stand by your side 


And I'd burn by your side 


Day in and night out

Though you suffer within 


And you suffer without

Teach my poor body to hold you

Teach my faltering fingers to feel you

Teach me to love you, and I'll love you more 


Than you have been loved before
