lyrics

i’m not a poet
nor a saint

(or am I both?
we don’t know so much about the other yet)

but if i had to weave a heavenly word or two
and deliver it to your door

then i would ask you
to baptize me with kisses

bless me with glances
furtive and profane

and make a benediction
of my body

preach to me
your proudest sins

and to you
i will prophet mine

innocent as we are
and will never be again

preach to me
your proudest sins

and to you
i will prophet mine

innocent as we are
and will never be again

i’m not a poet
nor a saint

(or am I both?
we don’t know so much about the other yet)

but if i had to weave a heavenly word or two
and deliver it to your door

then i would ask you
to baptize me with kisses

bless me with glances
furtive and profane

and make a benediction
of my body

(indecent acts
are the holiest of communions)

sweet believer
i’ve never practiced confession

so i hope you’ll forgive
this paltry prose

and allow me
many more excuses

to whisper
in your ear
“amen”
