lyrics

Such as he is, let him kiss me, kiss me,
with his whole earth,
whose name is a hot oil poured out
Such as I am, such as I am,
let him take away my cloak and find me,
such as I am, such as I am

And the shadows will flee and leave me such as I am,
not one but two, not two but one,
a bowl well-rounded, a heap of wheat,
the darling of her mother, uncreated,
uncreated

His eyes be turned on me, uncreated
his gladness poured on me, uncreated
his earth be roused
his earth be roused
his earth be roused
his earth be roused

For like as we are compelled, for like as we are
whose name is a hot oil poured out
and whose shadows flee when we arrive
and whose cloak takes itself away and finds me
not one but two, not two but one,
such as he is, such as I am
