The Golden Rule

by Brendan Perry

I still want you
I still need you, too
To be my lover
To be your fool

You bring out the best in me
You fill my head with dreams
To be your lover
To be your fool

Wisdom is my mistress
Frees me from these chains
Of your superstitions
And your false claims

Fear of circumstances
Then why to be the fool
An ocean dies a lake
This is the golden rule

(Those feeling narrow way
Into fear's golden awe
Beyond your indifference
Between the lie and dawn)

I still want you
I still need you
To be my lover
To be your fool
