Not in This Life (live)
It's cold for early June
But the sun is rising fast
There's a dew up on the quiet hill
Where he lays in the grass
Staring up at heaven's gates
To see if he can see in Jesus' eyes
The woman that he thinks of
Is still lying fast asleep
As he asks for resolution
And prays his soul to keep
A man of God in love can't touch
A man of God, temptation, sun rise
But it doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I don't care
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love
To run my fingers through your hair
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make
Sweet love to you so right
It just means not in this life
This has always been the path for him
Since the age of nine or ten
And if only he remembered now
The things he knew back then
