I´ll work for your love

I´ll work for your love Pour me a drink Theresa in one of those glasses you dust off And I´ll watch the bones in your back like the stations of the cross ´Round your hair the sun lifts a halo, at your lips a crown of thorns Whatever the deal´s going down, to this one I´m sworn I´ll work for your love dear I´ll work for your love What others may want for free I´ll work for your love The dust of civilizations and love´s sweet remains Slip off of your fingers and come drifting down like rain The pages of Revelation lie open in your empty eyes of blue I watch you slip that comb through your hair and this I promise you I´ll work for your love dear I´ll work for your love What others may want for free I´ll work for your love [Instrumental] Well tears they fill the rosary, at your feet my temple of bones Here in this perdition we go on and on Now I see your pieces crumbled and our book of faith´s been tossed And I´m just down here searching for my own piece of the cross In the late afternoon sun fills the room with a mist in the garden before the fall I watch your hands smooth the front of your blouse and seven drops of blood fall I´ll work for your love dear I´ll work for your love What others may want for free I´ll work for your love What others may want for free I´ll work for your love What others may want for free I´ll work for your love
