The Thorn In My Side Is Gone
JOHN MARK EITZEL
The thorn in my side is gone
It was too busy for the laws of the world
Like my need for you
It doesn't register on the scale of the world
When they talk about the strength they usually mean
The way blood sticks to the hand
When they talk about strength I know
They don't mean a touch that only love understands
I'll never leave you
Love never lies
I swear you could see me
If you could open your eyes
There's a beast in the trees
Dogging my heart,
step by step
I begged it to leave me with something
'Cause my fear was like a wind
Tearing the song from my breath
I'll never leave you
Love never lies
I swear you could see me
If you could open your eyes
