The Dirt

Beneath the blood moon, all filled with wine You say you love me for the very first time And as the three words fire from your teeth Like some perfect bullet to knock me off my feet I'll be loving you too The shadow of your heart it cuts right through And as you fall for some decent man You place your life into his trembling hands And as the red sun struggles up in the sky With his arms around you, and your dreaming eyes I'll be loving you too The shadow of your heart it cuts right through I'll be loving you too From your lips to the dirt they lower me down into And as I make love to another one Your name is riding on the tip of my tongue And as her body crashes on my like a wave My resolve may weaken, but never break I'll be loving you too The shadow of your heart it cuts right through I'll be loving you too From your lips to the dirt they lower me down into And the shadow of your heart it cuts right through And when the day comes, you've forgotten my name And I've drunk an ocean to try to quell the pain And in your autumn, when your colours have changed Your naked branches or your lips don't feel the same From the greyhound to the after light I was looking out my window all this time I'll be loving you too The shadow of your heart it cuts right through I'll be loving you too From your lips to the dirt they lower me down into
