Hosea |
| Well every time I lay in the bed beside you |
| Hosea, Hosea |
| I hear the sound of the streets of the city |
| My belly growls like a hungry wolf |
| And I let it prowl till my belly’s full |
| Hosea, my heart is a stone |
| So please believe me when I say I’m sorry |
| Hosea, Hosea |
| You loveable, gullible man |
| I tell you that my love is true |
| Till it fades away like a morning dew |
| Hosea, leave me alone |
| Here I am in the Valley of Trouble |
| Just look at the bed that I’ve made: |
| Badlands as far as I can see |
| Well there’s no one here but me |
| Hosea |
| Well I stumbled and fell in the road on the way home |
| Hosea, Hosea |
| I lay in the brick street like a stray dog |
| You came to me like a silver moon |
| With the saddest smile I ever knew |
| Hosea carried me home again |
| Home again |
| You called me out to the Valley of Trouble |
| Just to look at the mess that I’ve made |
| A barren place where nothing can grow |
| One look and my stone heart crumbled-- |
| It was a valley as green as jade |
| I swear it was the color of hope |
| You turned a stone into a rose |
| Hosea, Hosea |
| Hosea |
| Well I sang and I danced like I did as a young girl |
| Hosea, Hosea |
| I am a slave and a harlot no more |
| You washed me clean like a summer rain |
| And you set me free with that ball and chain |
| Hosea, I threw away the key |
| I’ll never leave |
| Hosea, Hosea |
