Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found her on a night of fire and noise
Wild bells rang in a wild sky
I knew from that moment on
That I'd love her till the day that I died
And I kissed away a thousand tears
My lady of the Various Sorrows
Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
Some kept safe tomorrow
[PreChorus]
On an endless night silver star spangled
The bells from the chapel went jingle jangle
[Chorus]
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me like I love you?
[Verse 2]
She was given to me to put things right
And I stacked all my accomplishments beside her
Yet I seemed so obsolete and small
I found God and all his devils inside her
In my bed, she cast the blizzard out
A mock sun blazed upon her head
So completely filled with light she was
Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad
[PreChorus]
Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled
And the bells from the chapel went jingle jangle
[Chorus]
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me like I love you?
[Verse 3]
She had a heart full of love and devotion
She had a mind full of tyranny and terror
Well, I try, I do, I really try
But I just err, baby, I do whatever
So come find me my darlin' one
I'm down to the grounds the very dregs
Here she comes blocking the sun
Blood running down the inside of her legs
[PreChorus]
The moon in the sky is battered and mangled
And the bells in the chapel go jingle jangle
Jingle jangle, jingle jangle, jingle jangle
[Chorus]
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me like I love you?
[Verse 4]
All things move toward their end
I knew before I met her that I would lose her
I swear I made every effort to be good to her
I made every effort not to abuse her
[PreChorus]
Crazy bracelets on her wrists and her ankles
And the bells from the chapel go jingle jangle
[Chorus]
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love me like I love you?
[Outro]
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me like I love you?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
