Sanctify Me Lyrics

Well I caught your eye from across the room

I mistook you for a lighthouse that would lead me from the gloom

Yes you were dancing drunk and defiantly

While I was like a one-armed guitarist, fretting silently

I could see that your faith was torn

I bet your walls would all fall down if I just blow my horn

See, I been wandering through the desert sand

And now you're looking like an oasis to a dying man

You caught me looking and you know I know it

You were intrigued but trying not to show it

I bore the cross, now baby don't deny me

Come on baby, won't you sanctify me?

I said my prayers for a holy tryst

And then crossed the floor to you to receive my eucharist

My soul was steeled in firm belief

As I begged in supplication for my sweet relief

My seventh drink caught me unawares

And my eyes began to blur as we went up the stairs

As darkness fell, I felt the angels' breath

And baby you read the Last Rites over my little death

I caught you peeping and I know you know it

Immersed in thirst but trying not to show it

I bore the cross, now baby don't deny me

Come on, baby, won't you sanctify me?

The flood is rising and I know you know it

I was ashamed, but trying not to show it

I bore the cross, now don't you vilify me

Come on, baby, won't you sanctify me?
