I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless,
I don't want to smell you and lose my senses
and smile in slow motion with eyes in love…
So the day Noah's ark floats down Park
my eyes will be simply glazed over,
or better yet I'll wear shades on sunless days
and when the sun's out, I'll stay in and slumber,
oh, all for the sake of a foolish love,
all for the sake of a foolish love.
—Rufus Wainwright, "Foolish Love"
