You draw me to you
If I were shut up in a strong prison
You would draw me out
I should come through the walls to come to...
you

If I were lying on a sick bed
You would draw me up to stagger to your...
feet
And fall there
And fall there

You could draw me to fire
You could draw me to water
You could draw me to the gallows
You could draw me to any death

No man knows until the time comes
What depths are within him
To some men it never comes
Let them rest and be thankful

To me you brought it, on me you forced it
And the bottom of this raging sea
Has been heaved up ever since
I first saw you

You could draw me to fire
You could draw me to water
You could draw me to the gallows
You could draw me to any death


You could draw me to anything
I have most avoided
You could draw me to any
Exposure and disgrace

You are the ruin of me – yes!
You're the ruin, the ruin of me
I have no resources for myself
I have no confidence in myself

I have no governance of myself
When you're near me or in my thoughts
and you're always in my thoughts now
I have never been quit of you since I first saw you!

You could draw me to fire
You could draw me to water
You could draw me to the gallows
You could draw me to any death

You could draw me to anything
I have most avoided
You could draw me to any
Exposure and disgrace

This, and the confusion
Of my thoughts, so that I am fit for nothing
Is what I mean by your being...
By your being the ruin of me
