Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love, rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up and don't let me fall
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me
Love, rescue me
[Verse 2]
Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me
They ask me to reveal
The very thoughts they would conceal
Love, rescue me
[Bridge]
And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea
I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said, love, rescue me
[Verse 3]
In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
See the dark shades of what I used to be
See the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies
Love, rescue me
[Bridge]
Yea, though I walk
In the valley of the shadow
Yet, I will fear no evil
I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me
Love, rescue me
[Bridge]
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, ha-ha-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, la, I said love, love, rescue me
[Verse 4]
I said love
Climb up the mountains, said love
I said love
Oh, my love on the hill
On the hill of the sun
I'm on the eve of a storm
And, my word, you must believe in love
I said love, rescue me
[Bridge]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, I'm here without a name
In the palace of my shame
I said love, rescue me
[Outro]
I conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance to a new world I can see
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me
Love, rescue me
