Lady Lamb - Prayer of Love lyrics

The sight of the calf bein'
Cleaned makes me weep
I weep at the sight of the calf bein' cleaned
And I worship the street from my balcony
I stare at the moon
I swear it's starin' back at me
And I will build my life a sanctuary
To never neglect to bow
Before this sacred time

The prayer of true love is
The size of a universe
I feel it contract like the heart
Of the calf and then I
Feel it expand with your head in my hands
You can press the part your love into
My palm when it comes on
And I would tell you how I love you
But, I won't compete with this song

And I could never describe the heaven
That I find in your eye
But, I believe that I will rest there
On the day that I die
So I will try to be kind to myself and to you
And to my brother and my sisters
And to strangers and my friends
Now I leave you by the gate
Where the Scandinavian sky
Is a slab of pink meat
And when you let go of me
That raw sun goes and gets
It'self lodged in my throat
And I choke down my tears
But, I can't get no relief
For my heart leaves with you
And I'm left to carry
This hollow body to a bed that ain't mine
Though apart from the relentless terrors
I find that I sleep just fine

I never hear a lick of what I say to myself
Even now I can tell that
I'm not listenin' to me

I wish that my words could be my nourishment
I'd like to take my own medicine past
Pourin' up a glass of it
And I wish that you were here
And that love could last
I'm not sure that it can't
I just pray that it can
And that is really all that is all there is
Yeah baby, you're all that I want
You're all I really want, yeah
Baby, this is all that I want
It's all I really want, yeah
