lady lamb - prayer of love lyrics

[intro]
the sight of the calf bein’ cleaned makes me weak
but we bear 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

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
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
though apart from the relentless terrors
i find that i sleep just fine

[bridge]
i never hear a l!ck of what i say to myself
even now i can tell that i’m not listenin’ to me

[humming]

[verse 3]
i wish that my words could be my own nourishment
i’d to take my own medicine, past pourin’ up a gl-ss 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, yeah
