Send His Love To Me
PJ Harvey · To Bring You My Love [1995]
Lover had to leave me
Cross the desert plain
Turned to me, his lady
Tells me "lover wait"
Calling jesus, please
Send his love to me
Oh, wind and rain may 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
Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell
Mommy, 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 too 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
Cross the desert plain
Turned to me, his lady
Tells me "lover wait"
Calling jesus, please
Send his love to me
Oh, wind and rain may 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
Left alone in desert
This house becomes a hell
This love becomes a tether
This room becomes a cell
Mommy, 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 too 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
