Kingdom of Rain - The The with Sinead O'Connor

Tell me what youre thinking baby Your hearts beating faster than mine And I know somethings going on in your life In your life.. in your life You were the girl I wanted to cry with You were the girl I wanted to die with And you were the boy who turned into the man Broke my heart and let go off my hand Our bed is empty, the fire is out And all the love weve got to give has all spurted out Theres no more blood and no more pain In our kingdom of rain You think you know about life You think you know about love But when you put your hands inside me It doesnt even feel like Im being touched, and You were the boy I wanted to cry with You were the boy I wanted to die with Youve moved further from my side, year by year, While still making love dutifully sincere But as silent as the car lights that move across this room As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon And I would lie awake and wonder Is it just me or this the way love is supposed to be?

The Cloud of Unknowing - Chapter Five

AND if ever thou shalt come to this cloud and dwell and work therein as I bid thee, thee behoveth as this cloud of unknowing is above thee, betwixt thee and thy God, right so put a cloud of forgetting beneath thee; betwixt thee and all the creatures that ever be made. Thee thinketh, peradventure, that thou art full far from God because that this cloud of unknowing is betwixt thee and thy God: but surely, an it be well conceived, thou art well further from Him when thou hast no cloud of forgetting betwixt thee and all the 86 creatures that ever be made.
