Love's Sacrifice Lyrics

You got dirty hands

And you can't wash the stain off

Looks like it rained too hard last night

And the water won't drain off

The morning mirror will reveal

What you've long tried to conceal

Looks like you paid the price

For cowardice in the face of Love's Sacrifice

Love's Sacrifice

If you were a saint

You would have acted better

But there's no time for prayer

And you lost my letters

Can't you see it in the stars

The silver fenders of brand new cars

Looks like you should have thought twice

About bearing the burden of Love's Sacrifice

Love's Sacrifice

You keep your secrets hidden close

For when you wanna let off steam

And one sin is bigger than pride

Guess you know what I mean

Can't you see me in the splutters and coughs

Of TVs when they are turned off

Now you're on your own

And the nurses treat you kindly

A lonely old man with no visitors

Loves is blind

But you were blind, you couldn't see

To give up graciously

Looks like you should have thought twice

About bearing the burden that is Love's Sacrifice

Love's Sacrifice
