Lyrics
There is only so much milk and honey babe
It's running low but we're cheap and lazy
You're bitterly cold then warm like spring and lying in the roses
With the world on fire and the tears scarce
Sat in our old uneasy chairs
Existing more without the care to ever stage a world war
It's wonderful the way you move
My intention's not misconstrued
I want you now and I'll be with you to sleep until the morning
With one purpose and one destiny
Down the wrong road race you and me
And all the parts we act so well while we're hiding in the wings babe
Without the ring, without the vows
No holy orders or scared cows
And it will be a miracle how we'll ever get to heaven
Chorus
In a maelstrom made of my wicked days
When the wild wind wails and I'm worn away
My heart is lost in a last sunset
You never let me bleed and I know you're all I need
