I was tired o' being drunk
My face cracked like a joke
So I swung through here like a brace of jackrabbits
With their necks all broke
[00:-1.00]
I stumbled at the door with my boot
And I knocked against the jamb
And I scrabbled at your chest like a mute
With my fists of ham
[00:-1.00]
Trying to tell you that I am
Telling you I can
I can love you again
Love you again
[00:-1.00]
I'm squinting towards the East
My faith makes me a dope
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling
Like a length of rope
[00:-1.00]
I shaped up overnight, you know
The day after she died
When I saw my heart, and I tell you, darling
It was open wide
[00:-1.00]
What with telling you I am
Telling I can
I can love you again
Love you again
[00:-1.00]
And it can have no bounds, you know
It can have no end
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling
When you need a friend
[00:-1.00]
And it can change in shape and form
But never change in size
Well, the water, it runs deep, my darling
Where it don't run wide
[00:-1.00]
The feather of a hawk was bound
Bound around my neck
A poultice made of fig
The eager little vultures peck
[00:-1.00]
And the verse I read in jest
And Matthew spoke to me
Said, there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest
That says, "you will be free"
[00:-1.00]
Only tell me that I can
Tell me that I can
I can love you again
Love you again
[00:-1.00]
Love you again (x9)
Love you
[00:-1.00]
