Analysis of YOUR LOVE IS THE BEST OF ME
Your love is like a body,
Gagged and bound
And weighed way Down
To the bottom of the sea -
There's no escaping it -
Mines being the body - yours
Being the water that preserves me -
It's like the wind
The rain
And the freezing cold -
Yours being a story
Just waiting to be told -
Your love is me -
My love is yours
And also a delicacy
To my soul -
