A lonely man amidst these scenes, I wander aimless round these dreams
I prefer the humble ones, I prefer the humble ones now you have gone
You?ve gone 5000 miles. You?ll be gone at Christmas time
So I?ll carry the cross, The cross into the lights blind my eyes
And I will beg that you still love me
A thousand miles for every year, Since you swept across this desert
You?re a prophet, you?re a plague, I felt the flowers grow despite myself
Will I be the bastard I was then? Will the isolation spread
Just like a cancer, Like a lie, I?ll carry the cross
The cross into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
See the light blinds my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
When you come home you will find, This naked spirit tumbling blind
I?ll lay myself down at your mercy, A faithless man who lies
Into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
See the light blinds my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
