Prayer of Love - Lady Lamb

The sight of the calf bein' cleaned makes me weep

I weep at the sight 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 the part 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

For my heart leaves with you and I’m left to carry

This hollow body to a bed that ain’t mine

Though apart from the relentless terrors

I find that I sleep just fine

I never hear 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 nourishment

I’d like 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’t, 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, yeah
