Faster Than the Medicine

It's high noon
The bells of St. Ives ring through
The stone streets and thoughts of you
Reach me
Faster than the bells of time

A patient
Waiting for the nurse
Waiting for your holy word
To reach me
Faster than the medicine
Faster than the medicine

Impatient
I call for the priest
She knows
Just what I need
To reach you
Faster than the word of man
Faster than the medicine

And if it's only tonight
Hold me
Don't leave
Love is just a one shot try

I'm taking
The waters of Bath
But only, only your breath
Can heal me
Faster than the water can
Faster than the medicine

No one here feels the same
No one here knows the way
To reach me
Faster than the one I love
Faster than the one I love
Faster than the one I love
