“Love”

This dress that I wore
For you is stained red
Like the blood of the faithful
Crushed under the cartwheels

Of the Pharaohs
On their way to Jericho
And even as they’re dying
They pray, for

Love, love
Love give us
Love
Like light shining down from above

This heart that I wore
On my sleeve is stained red
Like the wine that you spilled
Toasting the end

Of everything good
Of everything clean
You leave me swinging
From the hangman’s tree, singing

Love, love
Love give us
Love
Like grace coming down from above

I’m still looking
For my pillar of light
You found yours in the bar
On a Saturday night

I just hope it can save you
From the snakes in your brain
From your nails and your cross
And your nerves and your pain

I was never here to save you boy
I just wanted your

Love, love
Love give us
Love
The whole world’s screaming for

Love
Like rain coming down
Like just enough to drown
Like the sky falling down from above

This dress that I wore for you
For you is stained red
