Lyrics
Love puts you in a place you cannot see
you cannot see,
the world puts you in a place you cannot see.
Love took me in
and shaved me close
so close, that I was bleeding.
His kiss was deep
would make me weep
for I was so unheeding
Chorus
Love brought his kiss
and then his fist,
you never see it coming.
My sleep was deep
would make me weep
and legs were always running
Chorus
Love changed and soured
it kept me bowed
so low that I was kneeling.
Each day a trial
without denial
so guilty, no appealing
Chorus
Love isn?t always
bad like that,
it?s far more kind and healing.
With kiss so deep
will always keep
giving, but not stealing
Chorus
A family tossed
broken and lost,
so far and put asunder.
Each day, from them,
a tiny stem
would give me hope and wonder
Chorus
