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]
