I would burn for your visions
Then stand alone in the dark
I would ask for your benediction
Then hand you my heart
I would save all my graces
Say my prayers every night
Then lay quietly beside you
Wrapped in your arms ever tight
Would you pardon all my sins?
If I confessed them to you
Or would you tear out the pages
Of this life gone askew
If I swore my allegiance
As a beggar I would plead
And hand you my wounded heart
As it started to bleed
Would it make any difference
If I stood at your door
My face hidden in the shadows
My hands covered with sores
Don't turn me away now
I have no more to give
I have lost the keys to the kingdom
And the will to live
I am shivering and quaking
My shoes and clothes all threadbare
I am wired to the back teeth
With no small change to spare...
