Once I Believed

Once, I was in love And you loved me back We were wed in the dead Of the desert of your sun It was too hot to dance And too hot to kiss So we made love at dawn Once, when we found out I could not conceive I was destroyed You took me in your arms and said "I don't care what the world thinks I only care about you" And I wept onto your shoulder Once, when I heard you'd been killed By treacherous men There are no arms left to hold me the way That you do The way that you did The way that you held me The way that you hold me The way that you hold me The way that you held me Once, I believed in the good of men But now I don't know Except for the way The way that you held me Except for the way The way that you hold me
