I saw your hand in the door
Open to me, my love, my sister, my dove
My soul failed, but I won't lose you anymore
I'm seeking you 'cause I'm sick with love
I sleep but my heart is awake
Your gentle love I never meant to forsake
A sound! Your enchanting knock
Drops of night drip from your dew drenched locks
I saw your hand in the door
Open to me, my love, my sister, my dove
My soul failed, but I won't lose you anymore
I'm seeking you cause I'm sick with love
I yearned for you in my inner parts
Your calling hand embraced my heart of hearts
When I arose you were gone
My fingers dripped with myrrh but you had withdrawn
I saw your hand in the door
Open to me, my love, my sister, my dove
My soul failed, but I won't lose you anymore
I'm seeking you cause I'm sick with love
Watchmen search only to assail
They wounded me and stripped away my veil
O daughters help me in my deep distress
I've lost my love in all my helplessness
I saw your hand in the door
Open to me, my love, my sister, my dove
My soul failed, but I won't lose you anymore
I'm seeking you cause I'm sick with love
I saw your hand in the door
My sister, love, my perfect one, my dove
My soul failed, but I won't lose you anymore
I'm seeking you 'cause I'm sick with love
I'm seeking you 'cause I'm sick with love
