lyrics

well i'm packing up my suitcases
in the house that i built up with cards
and I'm taking deep breaths as the tears they wet my eyes

well the twisters in my head again
and I'm doubting all my lifelong friends
and I'm headed for that strange and empty land
that is harvested by wild and wicked hands
by wicked hands

well you threw out all our babys clothes
if you're gonna go you're gonna go
and the boy that is not here is now a man
for my seed it had not fallen in the sand
not in the sand

i gave my town over to my god
why i gave a damn i don't know why
but I'm falling towards a sun that burns my eyes
and ill dream about you dear until i die
and you wept as you went on your way


well you know the first step's the hardest part
and you know the ground is black and it is dark
the odds are all against us as we walk
you know i'm bound to take you right back home
and god is trying to teach us how to sing and how to talk

so lies have been told out of love
and the chimney is choked up with smoke
and i promise girl not to cut you anymore
cuz i'm a knife, a knife of love

please look at me
i am not who i seem to be
why don't you understand it's for the better dear
that all these things in life are just like lead my dear
they hold you down they hold you down
they hold you down

so lies have been told out of love
and the chimney is choked up with smoke
and i promise girl not to cut you anymore
cuz i'm a knife, a knife of love
i'm a knife a knife of love
