I was in jail the night we met. The dues I paid still don't explain How 'twas for you I was meant.
After you stole me away And showed my mind sweet surrender, I learned to keep the demons at bay- They made me a cheap pretender.
In a clairvoyant haze, I let the light of love hold me tender. The paths I walk are now paths I raze, You led me to the root of splendor And with that I'll do okay.
