There is a feeling I get
And it captures me but for a moment or two
Another romantic adventure
That fades in the name of something else new

Well that's not how I feel when I am around her
In fact it's not like that at all

Instead it's like I'm coming home
And I finally found where I've always belonged
And all of my foolish distractions
Well I won't be needing them anymore

And alone I am frightened
But with her I can
Lay me down, lay me down
And let her know who I really am
And when she's nearby
All of my selfish pride
Fades away, fades away, fades away

[Chorus]

And she dreams of a love that won't change
Like the sanctified saint that bears her name

She covers her eyes when she prays
'Cause she finds it so hard just believing in grace
And hers is a heart that is torn
Between longing for love and hating what she's become

Would she be surprised
If she looked through my eyes
And she saw how she shimmers
Like a full moon sky
And would all of those demons
That live in her mind
Fade away, fade away, fade away

[Chorus]

And she willingly bears all the blame
Like the sanctified saint that bears her name
Bears her name

She gently whispers
When she speaks of her pain
And the words cut me through
Like a torrent of rain
She's longing for shelter
Where she'll be safe and warm
Evermore, evermore, evermore

[Chorus]

And she hides from the signs of her fame
And she willingly bears all the blame
And she dreams of a love that won't change
Like the sanctified saint that bears her name
That bears her name
