The Thorn In My Side Is Gone (Alternate Version)

American Music Club


The thorn in my side is gone 
It was too sharp for the laws of the world 
Like my need for you, I know 
It doesn't register on the scale of the world 
When they talk about strength they usually mean 
The way that blood sticks to the hand 
When they talk about strength I know 
They don't mean a touch that only love understands 

And I'll never leave you
I'll never leave you 
Love never lies
I swear you could see me 
I swear you could see me 
If you could open your eyes 

There's a beast in the trees
As old as some dog in my heart 
Step by step 
I begged it to leave me with something 
'Cause my fear was like a wind 
Tearing the song from my breath 

And I'll never leave you
I'll never leave you 
Love never lies
I swear you could see me 
I swear you could see me 
If you could open your eyes
