I was tired o' being drunk
My face cracked like a joke
So I swung through here like a brace of jackrabbits
With their necks all broke
I stumbled at the door with my boot
And I knocked against the jamb
And I scrabbled at your chest like a mute
With my fists of ham
( )
Trying to tell you that I am
Telling you I can
I can love you again
Love you again
I'm squinting towards the East
My faith makes me a dope
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling
Like a length of rope
I shaped up overnight, you know
The day after she died
When I saw my heart, and I tell you, darling
It was open wide
( )
Trying to tell you that I am
Telling you I can
I can love you again
Love you again
And it can have no bounds, you know
It can have no end
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling
When you need a friend
And it can change in shape and form
But never change in size
Well, the water, it runs deep, my darling
Where it don't run wide
The feather of a hawk was bound
Bound around my neck
A poultice made of fig
The eager little vultures peck
And the verse I read in jest
And Matthew spoke to me
Said, there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest
That says, "you will be free"
( )
Trying to tell you that I am
Telling you I can
I can love you again
Love you again
Love you again
Love you again
Love you again
Love you again
Love you again
Love you again
Love you again
Love you
