Lloyd Cole - Jesus Said lyrics

Jesus said to mary: lord the things we do for love Well do you think i seem selfconcious, Its only you i'm thinking of. I was hiding in the bathroom quite unable to cry. Now i'm weeping with a vengeance Since your voice came down the line. And i move up from the country, Oh i never could have stayed. I just dipped my hand in the water And got carried away. Oh would you put me down Just for being around At the wrong time all day Or would you leave while i'm sleeping Out through the fire escape They tell me swans do fly Across the perfect sky And its the purest sky tonight So you desert me in the morning, Kind of your cruelty and spice And i move up from the country to wave a goodbye to old anne And i just let her on that riverboat and i never will look back Jesus said to mary: look at the things we do for love Well do you think he was selfconcious, It was only her he was thinking of. I was hiding in the bathroom quite unable to cry. Now i'm weeping with a vengeance These are tears of joy oh my And i move up from the country, Oh i never could have stayed. I just dipped my hand in the water And got carried away.
