The lion of love

Waterboys · Other Songs - Waterboys

Calling down the lion of love

use me

Calling down the lion of love

use me



So much to say

so much to time and space

I said it load and clear

plot and make my case

I put it into rhythm

sculpt it into rhyme

wrap my secrets in a melody

fire it at the fortress of your mind

And if after all I sing

you don't believe a thing

That's alright

we got all night



Calling down the lion of love

use me

Calling down the lion of love

use me



Use my heart

use my hands

Use me any way you can

Calling down the lion of love



So much trouble in the world

so much pain

I've heard it all before

I'll hear it again

But I'm trying to imagine

a world transformed by love

Open up my mind's eye

and let the pictures flood

Imagine that it's real

what does it look like, how does it feel

Hold the vision

bring it down, spread it around



Calling down the lion of love

use me

Calling down the lion of love

use me



Use my vision

use my voice

I've had a vision

and I've made my choice



Calling down the lion of love
