The Desperate Kingdom of Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh love, you were a sickly child How the wind knocked you down Put on your spurs, swagger around [Chorus] In the desperate kingdom of love [Verse 2] Holy water cannot help you now Your mysterious eyes cannot help you Selling your reason will not bring you through [Chorus] The desperate kingdom of love [Verse 3] There's another who looks From behind your eyes I learned from you How to hide [Chorus] From the desperate kingdom of love [Bridge] And at the end of this burning world You'll stand proud, face upheld And I'll follow you into Heaven or Hell And I'll become as a girl [Chorus] In the desperate kingdom of love
