Temple Of Love

Sisters Of Mercy

With the fire from the fireworks up above me


With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand


You run for cover in the temple of love


You run for another but still the same


For the wind will blow my name across this land





In the temple of love you hide together


Believing pain and fear outside


But someone near you rides the weather


And the tears he cried will rain on walls


As wide as lovers eyes





CHORUS


In the temple of love: Shine like thunder


In the temple of love: Cry like rain


In the temple of love: Hear my calling


In the temple of love: Hear my name





And the devil in black dress watches over


My guardian angel walks away


Life is short and love is always over in the morning


Black wind come carry me far away





With the sunlight died and night above me


With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside





You run for cover in the temple of love


You run for another it's all the same


For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside


With the fire from the fireworks up above


With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain





You run for cover in the temple of love


I shine like thunder cry like rain


And the temple grows old and strong


But the wind blows longer cold and long


And the temple of love will fall before


This black wind calls my name to you no more





In the black sky thunder sweeping


Underground and over water


Sounds of crying weeping will not save


Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar


All your prayers must seem as nothing


Ninety-six below the wave


When stone is dust and only air remains





CHORUS 2


In the temple of love: Shine like thunder


In the temple of love: Cry like rain


In the temple of love: Hear the calling


And the temple of love is falling


Down

the only haven you can trust
