Is a Hope (Drinking Alone)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been thinking on my wandering
On the way home from your house
That I love you and why I do,
And if there'll ever be someone else
You're young and you're stable
Stand up to your labour
You're young and you're able
But you need you a saviour
Oh you need you a saviour
Young believers
Come and see her
She has pushed him to the ground
Though with one hand he could break her
With one hand split her in two
But the reason that we love him
Is a hope he don't want to
Is a hope he don't want to
And can you find for me a higher thing?
So I can love he who will not fight for me
Cause I do not believe
Believe that I love he
So fight for me, think and feel for me
No I do not love thee, but believe that I love you
But believe that I love you
And when you're drinking alone
No it's bad for my soul
Took him back to a year ago
Throwing stones at my window
Ask me demon
To hear you moaning on
Yes I heard the songs
Like bullets to me
Put a calm in me
Knowing it was he
Who was fucking crazy
You're young and you're stable
Stand up to your labour
