Lover's Cross |
| You were my night light in the jungle when the vulture came to call |
| You swam around below me and you dragged me up for air |
| Till all around the sounds of love came blowing through my door |
| You stayed awhile and like a child you stepped on all my toys |
| True love makes you bitter, true love turns you sour |
| But some time true love hits you in the strangest hours |
| I don’t want to hang on no lover’s cross for you |
| I won’t be your crucifix or savior to bruise |
| I don’t want to hang on no lover’s cross for you |
| Saints alive I’ve died a hundred times or more for you |
| Prowling through my lifestyle, like a black cat on the roof |
| Riding astride my innocence when I was a hundred proof |
| And of our passion you confessed you’d never felt so proud |
| For what I lack, and my mistakes you’ll find in others now |
| You can tell them that they’re better, hand 'em the same line |
| But for Christ’s sake I don’t think you’ll find someone that kind |
| Don’t leave your shadow, won’t you take it away |
| Don’t want to keep finding little bits of you that stayed |
| If I see you tomorrow, if I spot you in a crowd |
| Be kind enough to ask me «Hey, how are you doing now» |
| «I'm doing fine, hope you’re the same way» |
| Then I’ll turn towards your latest love and say |
| Are you gonna hang on a lover’s cross for her |
| Will you be her crucifix, do you mind getting hurt |
| Are you gonna hang on a lover’s cross for her |
| Cause saints alive, I’ve died a hundred times or more for her |
