"New Jerusalem" lyrics

Patiently waiting for some new Jerusalem.
A sacred time where demons didn't know you then
Stood on the banks clutching rosary noose
Open the floodgates and abandon the sluice

Oh, Laura, I love you more
Than you'll ever know
How can I protect you from these things that you won't let go?

I wish I'd been older
I wish I'd been more of a guardian
A shoulder to cry upon, a brother to rely upon
I took your shelter, I didn't think twice
I owe you everything, I owe you my life
I was afraid, I ran away
Oh, I begged you to come for the skies
On fire, and you couldn't see it, at all

And love is just a word
You thought that you heard
All it means is never, never say never, no
Don't give up on me yet
Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?

It's just a word
You thought that you heard
All it means is never, never say never, no
Don't give up on me yet
Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?

I'm trying to find a way back home
I'm trying to find a way back home
I'm trying to find a way back home
I'm trying to find a way back home

Love is just a word
You thought that you heard
All it means is never, never say never, no
Don't give up on me yet
Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?

It's just a word
You thought that you heard
All it means is never, never say never, no
Don't give up on me yet
Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?
