LOVE IS THE SENTENCE (NOT THE CRIME)
VERSE1
You are my shelter from the storm,
All the promises I’ve sworn,
Half the paper I have torn -
You are the day that I was born.
You are the last tear that I cry,
Big red apple of my eye.
You are my smoke when I get high –
And my reason when I try.
CHORUS
There are no bars outside these windows.
There are no clocks to pass the time.
Just like a prisoner in the shadows –
Love is the sentence, not the crime –
Love is the sentence, not the crime.
VOCAL BRIDGE
I’m a little bit father/a little bit son/I’m your long ‘last’ love – I’m the only one.
It’s you/It’s me/It’s us/It’s we … Who both [OR These two] [OR Just who? OR So who?] [OR We’re both caught-up in the reverie.]got caught in the reverie.
Like the quilted shores and the sands of time, I won’t give up [OR If you’re really mine.] what is really mine.
Ah, You can’t believe that I won’t try, [if] I cross my heart and I hope to die.
VERSE2
You’re on my breath in every word.
You make me right when I’m absurd.
You’re all the music that I have heard –
You make me sing just like a bird.
You showed me mercy in the storm,
And you were kind when I was torn.
You dried my eyes so I could mourn.
Just like a rose, I need the thorn.
[OR Some need a rose, I need the [a] thorn.]
CHORUS
VOCAL BRIDGE
VERSE3
Up from the fires of my damnation –
Look at me, I’m a new creation.
Get a hold [OR ‘load’] of this incarnation –
I surrender to your salvation.
Walk ye [OR ‘me’] gently through the fire.
I’ll do to you what you require.
We’ll take it slow, so you won’t tire –
I’ll wash you up with my desire.
Take your passion for a walk;
Just close your eyes – no need to talk.
We’re like the eagle and the hawk –
I’m like the wind – and you’re my rock.
CHORUS
There are no bars outside these windows.
There are no clocks to pass the time.
Just like a prisoner in the shadows –
Love is the sentence, not the crime.
Love is the sentence, not the crime.
Love is the sentence, not the crime.
Love is the sentence, not the crime.
