The Devil's Sake Songtext
von Jolie Holland

I got drunk on an old photograph of you
That I′d taken in my mind
Only an angel sent from up above
Can tell me if you're the devil or the one I should love
Where is that angel? I′m praying with all of my might


Oh, take me into your heart again
With kisses sweeter than lies
Don't tell me the truth
I can already hear it in the way you howl in the night
Only your bones can tell my hands that you're right

I′m trying to be innocent as a dove
But I′m smarter than a nest full of snakes
Oh, heaven help me if only for the devil's sake

I got drunk on an old photograph of you
That I′d taken in my mind
Only an angel sent from up above
Can tell me if you're the devil or the one I should love
