[Verse]
I Gmlove a man, whose lBbove is vFiolence
Who always Dcomes, who goes aGmway
Who never brings me Bbany fFlowers
To blossom iDn my blazing Gmshade
[Chorus]
And all of his weak-heart lBbove is lFonely
Our love is Drunning out of Gmbreath
When I wake, you cBbannot Fknow me
When I Dsleep, I dream of Gmdeath
[Verse]
Wire, cradle, cBbross and aFrrow
Mother's mDilk or crone's Gmrage
Mouths like wolves, we diBbne like sFparrows
There is gDrace in great Gmrestraint
[Chorus]
And all of his weak-heart lBbove is Flonely
Our love is Drunning out of Gmbreath
When I wake, you caBbnnot kFnow me
When I Dsleep, I dream of Gmdeath
[Verse]
And I could not help but lBbeave and Fwonder
What spirit sDteals your awful Gmhead
And I am grateful fBbor your Fcandor
I could not lDove a better Gmman
[Chorus]
Cause all of his weak-heart lBbove is lFonely
Our love is rDunning out of Gmbreath
When I wake, you cBbannot know Fme
When I Dsleep, I dream of Gmdeath
