To Bring You My Love

PJ Harvey · To Bring You My Love [1995]

I was born in the desert

I been down for years

Jesus, come closer

I think my time is near

And i've traveled over

Dry earth and floods

Hell and high water

To bring you my love



Climbed over mountains

Traveled the sea

Cast down off heaven

Cast down on my knees

I've lain with the devil

Cursed god above

Forsaken heaven

To bring you my love



To bring you my love

To bring you my love

To bring you my love



I know he's gonna be here

You know he's gonna be here

Yeah alright



Forsaken heaven

Cursed god above

Laid with the devil

Bring you my love



To bring you my love

To bring you my love

To bring you my love
