Love came down like a cooling tower
Where an hour glass yesterday
Just dust and self-loathing (oh)
And un-returned clothing (oh)

The life stands still at an unmanned till
But the slow walk home in the evening chill
Have me feeling pretty virtuous until I see her
The flashing indicators of my favourite saboteur
And suddenly..

All my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist you cross 
Your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication
Ten Hail Mary's in the morning

She left town like a medicine show
In an oh so familiar scene
And I vowed forever solo (oh)
Time to focus on the crocuses

'Til I'm through it and I'm zen and I'll do it again
I'm a diligent village idiot toeing the line but watching for a sign
And when this cheap red wine or the big blue moon
Come to me my little ingenue
Suddenly..

All my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist you cross 
Your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication
Ten Hail Mary's in the morning

Love is a push and a shove sometimes
Suddenly..

All my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist you cross 
Your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication
Ten Hail Mary's in the morning

All my darkest dreams come swimming into focus
And it's hopeless to resist you cross 
Your wrist some twisted prayer or supplication
Ten Hail Mary's in the morning

I am reborn
'Cause my girl loves yesterday
And lives for tomorrow
