Between Intent & Deed Lyrics

Like the full moon calls to the Wolfman

Like a drink sings to a drunk

Like a holy ghost revival cries to the sinner

Like a siren and a sailor

Like an archer and a monk

Like the hope of spring clinging through the chill of winter

I can't leave you

Even when I try

Hell, you'll be the first to miss me When I die

Remember how you found me

Making angels on the lawn

I was young and full of spirit still unbroken

You were steady as a surgeon

And as brilliant as the dawn

And I fell into your arms with eyes half open

But I can't love you

Any way you need

There's a great divide between intent and deed

Like a beggar needs a nickel

Like a a farmer prays for rain

Even when he knows the levee could be breaking

Like a sick man to a needle

Like an aspirin to the pain

Low hanging poisoned fruit, ripe for the taking

You can't save me

From this well

Anymore than you can save me from myself

And I can't love you

Any way you need

There's a great divide between intent and deed
