P.J. Harvey - The Desperate Kingdom of Love lyrics

rate me

Oh love, you were a sickly child

And how the wind knocked you down

Put on your spurs, swagger around

In the desperate kingdom of love

Holy water cannot help you now

Your mysterious eyes cannot help you

Selling your reason will not bring you through

The desperate kingdom of love

There's another who looks from behind your eyes

I learn from you how to hide

From the desperate kingdom of love

At the end of this burning world

You'll stand proud, face upheld

And I'll follow you, into Heaven or Hell

And I'll become, as a girl

In the desperate kingdom of love
