Dave Gahan & Soulsavers - The Desperate Kingdom Of Love Lyrics

Dave Gahan & Soulsavers Lyrics

"The Desperate Kingdom Of Love"
(originally by P J Harvey)

Oh love, you were a sickly child
And how the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around

In the desperate kingdom of love

Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through

The desperate kingdom of love

There's another who looks
From behind your eyes
I learn from you how to hide

From the desperate kingdom of love
At the end of this burning world

You stand proud, face upheld
I follow you, into Heaven or Hell
I'll become as a boy

In the desperate kingdom of love
