Led into the rain By your window pane Honey I've been waiting for your love
Whalers in the cove Cradles in the trees Bugs 'round my knees But I'm waiting for your love
I recognize some men One with a heart in his throat One is holding a coat They are both waiting for your love
A babe in this scene Mama, I'm already fifteen And I'm wrong and I'm mean And I'm ready for your love
Forget the names that your parents earned
'Till your lungs are empty 'till your body's burned
You will never forget the one stone that you left unturned
Through a thousand eyes In five hundred heads A pagan silhouette Is overshadowed by love in vain
Shoved into the hall Where all the psalm writers sit And every single one of them's been hit By the landmine that is your face
A funeral march Through red rose and briar Where there are one million liars But which one's gonna take your place
Let's string up the past so the past won't last
The midnight door opens - woman I'm just hoping
That you're going to breathe in the fire that is burning me
Towards the painted road On the wall ahead I'm stepping over the undead Their bones broken by the dawn
Haunted by the chill Of whatever you are Are you the morning star Or just the holy ghost of your love
The ice covers the sea The black angel flees There's nothing left There's just you, there's just me
I left a girl back home I don't believe you've met her She was there through the worst of times but the worst is getting better There's a nun in the next room over sharpening a knife for me
Everything will be fine Once this wind unwinds All's I've got is time And I'm waiting for your love
