sacrificial rock

from our little place by redvers and mélissa

lyrics

the priest released doves to power of love
frankie goes to hollywood
me banging down the church door
screaming out your name
even the choir cried
in a parallel life you married the wrong guy
something changed your mind
i searched for years
one who seeks will find
i had kneeled on a florentine chapel floor
and watched old stories oozing from painted walls
i had never had a god
but the atmosphere had me change my prayer
for the coming year
and a boy soprano in the bright reverb
sang hallelujah!


we met in berlin at open mic
i had a girlfriend at the time
you changed your world against my best advice
you said, ‘i’ll never change my mind’
i love you more than sharks love blood
predictable you always surprise me
i'd given up on love
i had prayed i never fall in love again
but here i am chained to the sacrificial rock
i had never had a god but something talks to me
when you touch my face, when you are near
when i had a hard day and i come home to you
hallelujah!

hallelujah!!

is love the heaven of a false religion?
a dance on my own grave?
no one sings the hymn as loud as the convert
be loved be saved
i don't believe in fate
it turned on a moment we never knew we had
a contradiction i can trace it back
i had prayed i never fall in love again
but here i am chained to the sacrificial rock
i had never had a god but something fills me up
biblical rain into a carpenter's cup
heavenly feelings in my earthly guts
hallelujah!

i flew to you across the north atlantic
woke up in your arms
