What Is Love?

Well now really when we go back into falling in love
And say, it's crazy
Falling
You see?
We don't say "rising into love"
There is in it, the idea of the fall
And it is goes back as a matter of fact
To extremely fundamental things

That
There is always a curious
Tie at some point
Between the fall
And the creation
Taking this ghastly risk
Ah, is the condition of there being life
You see, for all life is an act of faith and an act of gamble
And the moment you take a step
You do so on an act of faith
'Cause you don't really know that the floor's not going to give under your feet

The moment you take a journey, what an act of faith
The moment that you enter into any kind of human
Undertaking in relationship, what an act of faith
See, you've given yourself up
But this is the most powerful thing that can be done, surrender
See, and love is an act of surrender to another person
Total abandonment
I give myself to you
Take me
Do anything you like with me
So, that's quite mad
Because you see it's letting things get out of control
All sensible people keep things in control
Watch it, watch it, watch it
Security?
Vigilance
Watch it
Police?
Watch it
Guards?
Watch it
Who's going to watch the guards?
So, actually, therefore, the course of wisdom
What is really sensible, is to let go
Is to commit oneself, to give oneself up and that's quite mad
So we come to the strange conclusion that in madness lies sanity
