"I Almost Loved You" lyrics - MY DYING BRIDE

Across her body I fled
"You never knew" she said
All me listened, and listen still
"All things betray you - and I will"
And in her hand sat my hand
Cold the sun and waters ran
As the deep called me up
I named her as my love

I wandered half, half the night
To cast a secret ring in fire
We'd been lovers only a short time
Yet I stand, pretty in your mouth
You and the night slip by
You are incomplete without me
You were made great
How men left you
A dying star
I almost loved you
