I was tired of being drunk.
My face cracked like a joke.
So i swung through here
Like a brace of jackrabbits,
With their necks all broke.

I stumbled at the door with my boot,
And i knocked against the jamb.
And i scrabbled at your chest, like a mute,
With my fists of ham.
Trying to tell you that i am
Telling you i can--
I can
Love you again;
Love you again.

I'm squinting towards the east.
My faith makes me a dope.
But you can take my hand,
In the darkness, darling,
Like a length of rope.
I shaped up overnight, you know,
The day after she died.
When i saw my heart,
And i'll tell you, darling,
It was open wide.
What with telling you i am
Telling you i can--
I can
Love you again;
Love you again.

It can have no bounds, you know.
It can have no end.
You can take my hand
In the darkness, darling,
When you need a friend.
And it can change in shape or form,
But never change in size.
Well the water, it ran deep, my darling,
Where it don't run wide.

The feather of a hawk was bound,
Bound around my neck;
A poultice made of fig,
The eager little vultures pecked.
And a verse i read in jest
In matthew, spoke to me;
Said there's a flame that moves
Like a low-down pest
And says, you will be free

Only, tell me that i can
Tell me that i can:
I can love you again;
Love you again.
