I love you

Daniel Lanois


A man carried metal, carried gold 
More than he could handle, more than he could hold 
It weighed him down to a sand shallow grave 
Where his bones were eaten by a heat wave 
While here it rains all night and it blows a sweet breeze 
I think I'll call you up 
And say please, baby please 

I love you, I love you, yeah, I love you, yeah, I love you 

Ah the dream machine 
Makes it hard to see 
If I could stand outside myself and watch it come to me 
I'd make the dream 
Filter down to my fingers and rip at the fools head and follow your scent that lingers 

'Cause I love you, yeah I love you, I love you, yeah I love you 

'Til the crash and the booming of the white bomb 
Come sure, come soon, come leave just one song 
One song, one beat, one dust, one end, one for all 
One stone for the marking for the dream when it falls 

When I love you, and I love you, yeah I love you, oh yeah I love you 
I love you
