The Desperate Kingdom of Love Songtext

The Desperate Kingdom of Love Songtext
Oh, love, you were a sickly child
How the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around
In the desperate kingdom of love
Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through
The desperate kingdom of love
There′s another who looks
From behind your eyes
I learned from you
How to hide
From the desperate kingdom of love
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
In a desperate kingdom of love
How the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around
In the desperate kingdom of love
Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through
The desperate kingdom of love
There′s another who looks
From behind your eyes
I learned from you
How to hide
From the desperate kingdom of love
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
In a desperate kingdom of love
