"Romeo & Juliet" lyrics

"Romeo & Juliet"
(with Foy Vance)

When he said my name "Juliet"
And the morning came He tried to forget
That he died in vain for a Capulet
And I woke in a shallow grave
With an iron crow and the holier sin
When the friar spoke and questioned again
Do you dare to provoke another desperate man
How far will this pilgrim go

Say it isn't so, say it's untrue
Boy, you gotta know that I died for you
Love is gonna hurt, love is gonna bleed
Meet me at the church if you'll die for me

Amen

Oh, the sorrow lo, if the part ain't sweet
If the best way to go is a heart that bleeds
And they're all in row and wanna marry me
Oh, where is my Romeo
If it all went black, another love undone
Never saw her man since the world begun
And I won't go back, how far we've come
He is the East and I am the Sun

Say it isn't so, say it's untrue
Boy, you gotta know that I died for you
Love is gonna hurt, love is gonna bleed
Meet me at the church if you'll die for me

Amen

Love is gonna hurt, love is gonna bleed
Meet me at the church if you'll die for me
Love is gonna hurt, love is gonna bleed
Meet me at the church if you'll die for me
Love is gonna hurt, love is gonna bleed
Meet me at the church if you'll die for me

Amen
