Lyrics
The Pure Thing
I like butter on my toast
And trees without leaves
I take my coffee black
to taste the water and the bean
I need the sound of bells
I need a cold stiff breeze
I love a deep red wine
And I will drink it to the lees
That's why
CHORUS
I want to love you both here and afar
In the front of the church, in the back of the car
Take off my ring when you make love to me
All that I want
All that I want is the pure thing
Sometimes I need to unplug the tv
And I'll open a book
And I'll sit down and read
Sometimes I pause and I just stare at your face
Can't say a thing because I'm overcome with grace
That's why
Chorus
I need to laugh without thought of restraint
I need to give with the heart of a saint
I need the truth even when it shakes me to the core
I cannot listen to lies anymore
And that is why
Chorus and long building vamp on All that I want/The pure thing (can shorten with fade)
