Come in sit down sweet angel leave me all your tears
Tell me all of your troubles the weight of your
short years
Love is only a river drowning all of your cheer
Sell me all of your laughter and I will take some of
your fear
His favorite days were the mornings she came with
confessions of cardinal sin
A beast in the business of selling forgiveness dead
eyes on a treacherous grin
And he laps up the vice like a wolf in the night
he's the left hand of God on the stage
And with one hand he offers salvation to lovers the
other it taketh awaySo give me your fire give me your fear give me your
faith when love gives you tears
Give me your heart give me your fate give me your
hand when love gives you hate
Give me your prayers up on your feet and I'll give
you a show it helps fill the seats
So give me your sins give me your lies but whisper
your love
And I'll whisper mineHis favorite line was the one formed outside where
they trade in confessions for lies
A beast in the business of selling forgiveness and
buying salvation with wine
And he cries out to God how can you claim them all
when I know that they are all mineSo give me your fire give me your fear give me your
faith when love gives you tears
Give me your heart give me your fate give me your
hand when love gives you hate
Give me your prayers up on your feet and I'll give
you a show it helps fill the seats
So give me your sins give me your lies but whisper
your love
And I'll whisper mine
