You were out wandering the
hills and valleys of my
heart
and I said you couldn’t stay, no
you had to go, I can’t bare to
see the pity in your eyes
we were driving through the woods as if God had chosen us,
with no fear in our souls for they
were already sold to the devil
in his handsome navy suit,
not a pitchfork tail in sight
and I learnt what they meant
about disguise, that night
I said leave me now, please
five miles away from home
I said, I can walk it, there are
no holes in my shoes
but you clung to me like a
long forgotten whisper, and
I knew I had no choice but
to love you
