Son of Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Like a shepherd and his flock He will not mock, but only lead me Like a piper and a rat His tune tells me that he will deceive me Just like a muse The sound of his music does surround me Just like a scent The noise of incense begins to drown me [Verse 2] He has lovely eyes Shining with the light of new-spun plexiglass He has cheek of pale Likened to a summer's gale as the wind rides past His voice is silent Screaming in the fires that are feeding you His lips are shallow Engulfing the shadows that are leading you [Verse 3] He can get you things All the nameless ecstasies brought from the air within the sea He can get the cure To take away the door, unlocking your forbidden needs His ways are hidden The medicine's forbidden—use it secretly He will come and go Allowing you to show only a memory [Verse 4] He will bring you medicine Taking away all the sin you've ever seen He can get you traces Taking you to places no one's ever been He will not grieve you He'll only leave you, yourself to burn He will come and go Leaving you alone to wish that he'd return
