"Proof Of Love" lyrics

"Proof Of Love"

Begin again, no easy trick
Without a guide or walking stick
Begin before the bells of twilight peal
Downhill town, the road ahead
Spiral as a serpent's bed
A teaspoon of desire for my meal

I trade my tears
To ask the Lord for proof of love
If only for the consolation
Of gazing at the stars above

Amen, amen, amen

The road is steep, the air is thin
I hear a voice inside my skin
Don't be afraid, your days won't end with night
Feel the sun, drink the rain
Let your body heal its pain
Bathe beneath a waterfall of light

I trade my tears
To ask the Lord for proof of love
If only for the explanation
That tells me what my dreams are made of

Amen, amen
The valley below an ocean of debris

I ask the Lord for proof of love
Love is all I seek, love is all I seek
And when at times my words desert me
Music is the tongue I speak

I rest my head beside a white oak tree
No deadly nightshade, belladonna dare lay a leaf on me

Silent night
Still as prayer
Darkness fills with light
Love on Earth is everywhere
