This Mess

can you hear them?
the helicopters?
i'm in new york
no need for words now
we sit in silence
you look me
in the eye directly
you met me
i think it's wednesday
the evening
the mess we're in

and the city sun

sets over me

night and day
i dream of making-love
to you now baby
love-making on-screen
impossible dream
and i have seen
the sunrise over the river
the freeway reminding
of this mess we're in

and the city sun

sets over me

We're In

what were you wanting?
i just want to say
don't ever change now baby
and thank you
i don't think we will meet again
and you must leave now
before the sunrise
above skyscrapers
the sin and
this mess we're in and
the city sun sets over me

Send His Love

lover had to leave me
'cross the desert plain
turned to me his lady
tell me "lover wait"

calling jesus, please
send his love to me

oh, wind and rain they haunt me
look to the north and pray
send me, please, his kisses
send them home today

i'm begging, jesus, please
send his love to me

To Me

left alone in desert
this house becomes a hell
this love becomes a tether
this room becomes a cell

mummy, daddy, please
send him back to me

how long must i suffer?
dear god, i've served my time
this love becomes my torture
this love, my only crime
oh lover please release me
my arms too weak to grip
my eyes to dry for weeping
my lips too dry to kiss

calling, jesus, please
send his love to me
i'm begging, jesus, please
send his love to me
