Prayer For Love

(album: Babes In The Wood - 1991)

Faith won't heal up everything
The wound grows and you believe in love
Walk around feeling cut in two
Wide open, with your hear on view
All you believe, all you bedazzled boys in need
When love won't heel you, why, why believe she will?

O lyubvi malyu otchayanno
Say it on your knees

Oh, so sharp, and way too cool
Love's bright and biggest fool
Has to work on speaking slow
To think hard, and to lie low
Will you bereaved? All you besotted boys in need
V krayu dalyokum chuzhie ne nuzhny

O tyubvi malyu otchayanno
Say it on your knees
Crying like a baby, "Please, please, please!"
Crying, hoping maybe
O tyubvi malyu otchayanno
Say it on your knees

Candle is a splendid thing
The room glows, and the candle sings
"Fly up to the only light
"Ev'ry, ev'ry tiny wing!"
The moth inside you bolts off to join the beautiful
He flies and dies
So quickly, quickly wise
