Prayer Of Love Lyrics

The side of the calf bein' cleaned makes me weak
But we bear the side of the calf bein' cleaned
And I worship the street from my balcony
I stare at the moon
I swear it's starin' back at me
And I will
Build my life a sanctuary
To never neglect, to bow before this sacred time

The prayer of true love is the size of a universe
I feel it contract like the heart of the calf and then I
Feel it expand with your head in my hands
You can press apart your love into my palm when it comes on
And I would
Tell you how I love you
But I won't compete with this song

And I could never describe the heaven that I find in your eye
But I believe that I will rest there on the day that I die
So I will try to be kind to myself and to you
And to my brother and my sisters and to strangers and my friends
Now I leave you by the gate, where the Scandinavian sky
Is a slab of pink meat, and when you let go of me
That raw sun goes and gets itself lodged in my throat
And I choke down my tears, but I can't get no relief and
My heart leaves with you, and I'm left to carry
This hollow body to a
Bed that ain't mine, low
Apart from the relentless terrors, I find that I
Sleep just fine

I never a lick of what I say to myself
Even now
I can tell that I'm not listenin' to me


I wish that my words could be my own nourishnment
And I'd to take my own medicine past pourin' up a glass of it
And I wish that you were here and that love could last
I'm not sure that it can
I just pray that it can

And that is
Really all that is
All there is
Yeah

Baby you're all that I want
You're all I really want
Yeah

Baby, this is all that I want
It's all I really want
