lyrics

True Love

Call me by name my love
Like a bird I will fly to your side
Remember the place my love
Call me by name

Well it’s a long road
Along that South West Delta coast
Through the blue woods
To that lonely little church

And the forest is burning
Animals running
Out of the the roadside
And into my headlights

Trees are on fire -
Giant wings in the black skies
Alight and a flutter and
Bright in the darkness

It’s a true love,
It’s a true, true love
It’s a true love
That rages through my blood
So I’ll come…

Call me by name my love
Like a bird I will fly to your side
Remember the place my love
Call me by name

And as the world ignites
I drive for hours through the night
To that hallowed ground
To that crooked tin plate spire

And we’ll stand there together
Alone at the altar
As windows above us
Shatter and blacken

In your hands will be flowers -
Ivy and lilies
And your shoes will be silver
And frayed at the edges

It’s a true love,
It’s a true, true love
It’s a true love
That rages through my blood
So I’ll come…

Call me by name my love
Like a bird I will fly to your side
Remember the place my love
Call me by name

And you’ll lead me up to
The top of the bell tower

And you'll lay me down on
Your patterned bedspread

In the morning you’ll wake me
And we’ll walk to the river
Through burnt out branches
With their blossoms of ashes

But it’s a true love,
It’s a true, true love
Well it’s a true love
That rages through my blood
So I’ll come…
