I'll Work for Your Love

Pour me a drink Theresa

In one of those glasses you dust off

And I'll watch the bones in your back

Like the stations of the cross

'Round your hair the sun lifts a halo

At your lips a crown of thorns

Whatever other deals goin' down

To this one I'm sworn

I'll work for your love, dear

I'll work for your love

What others may want for free

I'll work for your love

The dust of civilizations

And loves sweet remains

Slip off of your fingers

And come driftin' down like rain

The pages of Revelation

Lie open in your empty eyes of blue

I watch you slip that comb through your hair and this I promise you

I'll work for your love, dear

I'll work for your love

What others may want for free

I'll work for your love

Your tears, they fill the rosary

At your feet, my temple of bones

Here in this perdition we go on and on

Now our city of peace has crumbled

Our book of faith's been tossed

And I'm just out here searchin'

For my own piece of the cross

The late afternoon sun fills the room

With the mist of the garden before the fall

I watch your hands smooth the front of your blouse and seven drops of blood fall

I'll work for your love, dear

I'll work for your love

What others may want for free

I'll work for your...

What others may want for free

I'll work for your...

What others may want for free

I'll work for your love
