i found him on a night of fire and noise
wild bells rang in a wild sky
i knew from that moment on
i'd love him till the day that i died
and i kissed away a thousand tears
my lady of the various sorrows
some begged
some borrowed
some stolen
some kept safe for tomorrow
on an endless night
silver star spangled
the bells from the chapel went jingle jangle
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me like i love you?
he was given to me to put things right
and i stacked all my accomplishments beside him
still i seemed so obselete and small
i found god and all his devils inside him
in my bed he cast the blizzard out
a mock sun blazed upon his head
so completely filled with light he was
his shadow fanged and hairy and mad
our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled
and the bells from the chapel went jingle jangle
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me like i love you?
he had a heartful of love and devotion
he had a mindful of tyranny and terror
well i try
i do
i really try
but i just err baby
i do
i error
so come find me
my darling one
i'm down to the grounds
the very dregs
ah here he comes
blocking the sun
blood running down the inside of his legs
the moon in the sky is battered and mangled
and the bells from the chapel go jingle jangle
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me like i love you?
all things move toward their end
i knew before i met him that I would lose him
i swear i made every effort to be good to him
i made every effort not to abuse him
tattoos from his wrists to his ankles
and the bells from the chapel go jingle jangle
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me?
do you love me like i love you?
