John My Beloved 歌詞

Are we to speak
first day of the week
Stumbling words at the bar
Beauty blue eyes
my order of fries
Long island kindness and wine
Beloved of John
I get it all wrong
I read you for some kind of poem
Covered in lines
the fossils I find
Have they no life of their own?So can we pretend sweetly
Before the mystery ends?
I am a man with a heart that offends
With its lonely and greedy demands
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking I'm deadSuch a waste
your beautiful face
Stumbling carpet arise
Go follow your gem
your white feathered friend
Icarus
point to the sun
If history speaks of two baby teeth
I'm painting the hills blue and red
They said beware

Lord hear my prayer
I've wasted my throes on your headSo can we be friends
sweetly
Before the mystery ends?
I love you more than the world can contain
In its lonely and ramshackle head
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking I'm deadI'm holding my breath
My tongue on your chest
What can be said of my heart?
If history speaks
the kiss on my cheek
Where there remains but a mark
Beloved my John
so I'll carry on
Counting my cards down to one
And when I am dead
come visit my bed
My fossil is bright in the sunSo can we contend
peacefully
Before my history ends?
Jesus I need you
be near me
come shield me
From fossils that fall on my head
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking I'm dead
