Don’t be afraid
Of the physical pain
It has been discovered

That our bodies are made
In a merciful way
To black out and recover

But I was shown
A long time ago
By a desperate mother

There’s more pain in love
If you want proof of the infinite
Just watch your children suffer

But it’s over now
There’s no real way to talk about it
So I’ll pass the salt
You share the couch

And just be sure to let me know
If you find some workaround

I am not afraid
I learned from an early age
How to be a lover
First part is simple
Just give yourself away
But it’s hard to keep the other

A goal this summer:
I will give myself to God
I might not see another

But God I’m lonely
I will be your husband
But who will be my lover?

You’ll never be my lover
You’ll never be my lover
And I have need of a lover
