Over The Rhine - Gentle Wounds lyrics

rate me

entertaining visions of a

lucid nature

emotional precision

it's our best behavior

rattling the streetcars on

forgotten streets

making a connection with

the bittersweet

crawling into your mind

for some radiant reunion

tapping out the messages

that signify your

folded wings

the ground around receding

feel love's stinging sword

cut deep and catch

the joy that's bleeding out of

gentle wounds

feel the pang of hunger

feel the new life awaken

restoring everything

that once was taken...

symbolizing agony that

made the women weep

feel love's stinging sword

slice deep and catch

the joy that's bleeding out of

gentle wounds

bruised and beaten torn apart

the price that's paid for love divine

can't spare your life don't spare

your heart

just feel the joy...
