Lyrics

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
