Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I asked my father
I said father change my name
The one I'm using now, it's covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame
[Verse 2]
Ah but lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
[Verse 3]
He said I locked you in this body
I meant it as a kind of trial
You can use it as a weapon
Or to make a woman smile
[Verse 4]
Ah but lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
[Verse 5]
Then let me start again I cried
Oh please let me start again
I want a face that's fair this time I want a spirit that is calm
[Verse 6]
Ah but lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
[Verse 7]
I never turned aside I said
Oh I I never ever walked away
It was you who built the temple
It was you who covered up my face
[Verse 8]
Ah lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
[Verse 9]
You may come to me in happiness
Or you may come to me in grief
You may come to me in your deepest faith
Or you may come in disbelief
[Verse 10]
Ah lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
[Verse 11]
And may the spirit of this song
May it rise up, pure and free
May it be a shield for all of you
A shield against the enemy
[Verse 12]
Ah but lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
[Verse 13]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me
