[Intro] The sight of the calf bein' cleaned makes me weep I weep at the sight of the calf bein' cleaned And I worship the street from my balcony I stare at the moon, I swear it's starin' back at me And I will build my life a sanctuary To never neglect to bow before this sacred time
[Verse 1] The prayer of true love is the size of a universe I feel it contract like the heart of the calf and then I Feel it expand with your head in my hands You can press the part your love into my palm when it comes on And I would tell you how I love you But I won't compete with this song
[Verse 2] And I could never describe the heaven that I find in your eye But I believe that I will rest there on the day that I die So I will try to be kind to myself and to you And to my brother and my sisters and to strangers and my friends Now I leave you by the gate, where the Scandinavian sky Is a slab of pink meat, and when you let go of me That raw sun goes and gets itself lodged in my throat And I choke down my tears, but I can't get no relief For my heart leaves with you and I'm left to carry This hollow body to a bed that ain't mine Though apart from the relentless terrors I find that I sleep just fine
[Bridge] I never hear a lick of what I say to myself Even now I can tell that I'm not listenin' to me
[Humming]
[Verse 3] I wish that my words could be my nourishment I'd like to take my own medicine past pourin' up a glass of it And I wish that you were here and that love could last I'm not sure that it can't, I just pray that it can And that is really all. that is all there is, yeah Baby you're all that I want, you're all I really want, yeah Baby, this is all that I want, it's all I really want, yeahTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
