"Love Itself"

The light came through the window,
Straight from the sun above,
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of Love.

In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me.

I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door –
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone.

All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance,
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance.

I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door –
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone.

Then I came back from where I’d been.
My room, it looked the same –
But there was nothing left between
The Nameless and the Name.

All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance,
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance.

I’ll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door –
Then Love itself,
Love Itself was gone.
Love Itself was gone.

RR, just watched this. The man is just class, always writes with passion, no meaningless lyrics for Leonard.

I think he's just improved with age Cath. I discovered him late really though i knew some of his songs from the 70s, but seeing him in 2009 was a high point of my life lol. He is as you say "class".

RR,
It must have been brilliant to see him. I have always loved his music even when young as my Mum is a big fan too and his music was always playing in our house. Friends thought I was weird listening to some old man!!
