I Saw Love

I saw love, she was kestrel backed Big on theory, short on fact When she sang, her voice cracked Ah-ha-ha There in her beauty with her eyes blacked Body braced for impact I followed where the tears tracked Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha Where the walls stood witness derelict Petrol rage and Kristallnacht Bright windows all broken, house ransacked Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha That held the knife that cut the cord Wrapped cosy in the lies we bought Crowed loud as if anointed by her sword While she aloof, seemed lost in thought Then turned upon us tiger clawed Leapt the fences, hope she don't get caught Then entered in that stood before The threshold of her open door Rats inside the grain store Ah-ha-ha Ah-ha-ha She found me leaning circumspect Bent my eyes toward the prospect And she said My fate is in the hands of a total stranger Whose only map is a blank sheet of paper Now my fate is in the hands of a total stranger Whose only map is a blank sheet of paper Now my fate is in the hands of a total stranger Whose only map is a blank sheet of paper I saw love, she was kestrel backed One part theory, one part fact When she sang, her voice cracked Ah-ha-ha (Ah-ha-ha) Followed where the tears tracked
