  wearing his fathers        tie

            And his eyes looked into my eyes so far whenever the words ran

          dry

 Behind the lash and the circle blue he looked as only a priest can through

                                               And his eyes said me

            And his eyes said you

            And my eyes said let us try.

 He said, "You wouldn't like it here, no it's no place you should share"

                                                   "The roof is ripped with

  hurricanes and the room is always bare"

                                   "I need the wind and recieve the cold",

 He reached past the wine for my hand to hold

            And he saw me young                                    and he

  saw me old                                    and he saw me sitting

  there

                              Then he took his contradictions out and he

  splashed them on my       brow

                 So which words was I then to doubt when choosing what to

      vow                                                         Should I

 choose them all, should I make them mine? The sermons, the hymns, and the

 valentines?                                    And he asked for truth

             And he asked for time

            And he asked for only          now.

                                       Now the trials are trumpet-scored,

 Oh, will we pass the   test

                 Or just as one loves more and more, will one love less and

      less                                                         Oh come,

let's run from this ring we're in, where the Christians clap and the Germans

  grin

            Saying let them lose                         Try and let them

  win                                               Oh, make them both

 confess.
