Listening - Hosea In C Minor lyrics

rate me

Didn't believe when I gave you the diamond

Buried underground so no one saw it shining

None of the people who told you could hear it

Voices on the tele always there to deceive it

You didn't know you were sleeping with demons

You wouldn't listen to the husband that cried

From the tops of cathedrals and churches you walked

Right on by

You went your own way

Now you've fallen down, love

Now you're on your own

Won't know it's love 'til it's taken away

And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day

Now you'll carry on, son

Now... now you know

Won't know it's love 'til it's taken away

And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day

It's the ransom you owed, but a debt that I paid

Yet you've hated your freedom and envied the slaves...

Didn't believe when I called you my lover

You'd be pulling on the walls until they tumble over

You didn't know you were drinking with demons

You wouldn't listen to the angels that cried

From the tops of cathedrals and churches

You walked right on by

You went your own way

Now you've fallen down, love

Now you're on your own

Won't know it's love 'til it's taken away

And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day

Now you'll carry on, son

Now... now you know

Won't know it's love 'til it's taken away

And you've thrown your own soul into hell for a day

It's the ransom you owed, but a debt that I've paid

Yet you've hated your freedom and envied the slaves...
