The angels are weeping again
For the heart will wander
where the flesh will lead
Is conscience really no more
than the fear of being caught?
Do you hate yourself for loving me? For loving me
I toss and I turn on this bed of nails
'cos the pills ain't working
The silence roars like a monstruous ocean
And only the shallow breathing of you
lying next to me
Brings me any comfort
It's you, only you, there's only you
and you alone
It's only ever you
It's only through betrayal
I have found my way back home to you
I've just heard you breathe
my name in your sleep
Or is that just wishful thinking
wishful thinking
'Cos there's lots of sad words
that sound just like my name
And God only knows
how many devils visit you in your slumber
The sky is black, even the moon has abondoned us
Tonight smells of jasmine and fallen stars
Oh how the reflex always betrays
It's you, only you, there's only you
and you alone
It's only ever you
There are appetites I'd long thought sated
Impulse and desire I'd long thought abated
Until I'm one with you again
I wanna feel all the hurt and pain
I wanna feel the burning shame
I wanna take all the curses and the blame
