"Like A Preacher" lyrics
"Like A Preacher"
Are you lying there on the cold dark ground
Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound
What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time
What do you want so bad that you have never had
Could it be dangerous to light the flame and just
Feel the warmth again make it rise again
Remember your last time you tried to let it in
It scorched the walls, torched the halls
And then it melted your skin
Like a preacher save you from the fire
I won't let you burn
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
I won't let you burn
Oh I won't let you burn
The feelings you repress the thoughts you don't confess
They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart
You recklessly adore the idols keeping score
But no-one ever wins they just start the game again
You chose the cross you bare and pick the chains you wear
Your heaven's in your mind. Your hell's a valentine
Come closer now express this longing so divine
On your knees be blessed let it possess you one more time
I am a sermoniser, an on the street evangeliser
Virtuous and sanctified
Your innocence is glorified there's a part that's incomplete
Your hungering is so discrete
Take this now for it's my body a little death can be so godly
Like a preacher save you from the fire
I won't let you burn I'll save you
Come come
Come follow me to the deep inside
Where heaven is love is alive
Come follow me to the deep inside
Where heaven is love is alive

Chris De Burgh - "The Keeper Of The Keys" I hear her voice
She calls to me
I know she's near
But I cannot see
Through prison walls

Her dreams of freedom and the real world
Where her face is never seen
All the king's horses...

Hold me close, and try and understand
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe

The way I feel under...
Lucinda Williams - "Little Angel, Little Brother" Your R & B records your music books
Your sense of humor and your rugged good looks
I see you now at the piano
Your back a slow curve
Playing Ray Charles and Fats Domino
While I sang all the words...
