Love Hymn

(album: Bird On A Wire - 1971)

I met and talked completely by chance
To a woman so beautiful I could see at a glance
She was a saint
Then by one in a five million chances
She fell in love with me
As I already have had for her

Perhaps the shock of such grace and pure love
Sent me flying headlong back into the fever
I know I was sick of myself with my own disgrace
Never having really, really tried to believe her

But she nursed me and loved me
Back to the man, to the man she seen I had to be
To live on in this world

Then while I was gone, she took my heart away
And drove off with a new friend out west to L.A.
But when we was one, we made Damion
We made our love be my only one

She loved, loved me back
To the man she seen I had to be to live on in this world

Perhaps the grace and the shock of such pure love
Sent me flying headlong back into the fever
I know now I was sick of my self-disgrace
Having never tried to believe her

She loved, loved me back to the man
She seen I had to be to live on in this world
Then while I was gone, she took my heart away
And drove off with a new friend out west to L.A.
When we was one, we made Damion
We made our love be my only one
