Lyrics
This was the first time that I saw the face that broke her heart.
And was it the first time that she fell so far?
Well I remember that we almost faked each other out, was it bad enough?
And I was dying 'cause we almost erased it, wasn't that enough?
She said...
"If you have to have my love,
Better make a little note of it, and bind it up
With St. Peter's chain.
So rectify my love -
It's heaven bound or this hell will drown it."
That was the last time that she found a place to put her love.
And now is a fine time to stoke the flames of her tender heart.
Well, I could never understand how to justify us when she'd had enough.
But now I see how my affliction could burn the passion out...
(I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so sorry)
She said...
"If you have to have my love,
Better make a little note of it, and bind it up
With St. Peter's chain.
So rectify my love -
It's heaven bound or this hell will drown it."
Another broken man could've never fought it out for long enough!
And now I see how her conviction can bear a crisis out, and I'm all right!
