COME ON, APHRODITE
(words & music Natalie Merchant)
Come on Aphrodite, you goddess of love.
Come on Aphrodite, from that mountain above.
Come on Aphrodite, I’m begging you, begging you,
I’m begging you please.
Come on Aphrodite, can’t you see that I’ve been patient?
Come on Aphrodite, can’t you see how long I’ve waited?
Come on Aphrodite, can’t you see that I’m wasting,
I’m wasting away.
Won’t you come from the sea? Appear to me!
Come on Aphrodite, see me down on my knees.
Come on Aphrodite, part the waves for me.
Come on Aphrodite, I’m begging you, begging you,
I’m begging you please.
Come on Aphrodite, I’ve been nothing but true.
Come on Aphrodite, I believe in you.
Come on Aphrodite, from the mountain, from the sea
gather all your secrets, come on, bring them to me.
Won’t you come from the sea? Appear to me.
Come on, queen of the garden of earthly delight,
goddess of passion and giver of life.
Come to me.
Come with your rapture, come with your pain,
come if you hear me; I’m calling your name.
Come to me.
Make me head over heels, make me drunk, make me blind,
over the moon, half out of my mind.
Make me weak in the knees; tremble inside,
give up easy and swallow my pride.
Oh, make me, can you make me love?
Flower of the ocean, pearl of the sea,
daughter immortal, come to me.
Rise from the water, walk on the sand,
goddess of beauty, take my hand, come to me.
