Love Is Lonesome

from Devil's Blues by Joy

	/

lyrics

All love is lonesome
All lovers are deranged
Stitched with thorns and Cupid’s arrows
To the source of fire
Brown around the bite marks

And my rust has roamed some
From where you first laid your fangs
Now there’s no end to my decaying
Or secret still to find
Only bruises where your mouth has been

But it was love that traded grace for death and doubt
And love that strove to drive the Devil out
Love that flew from Eden
Love that mapped the wild East
When we snapped it from the stem
And swore to share the consequence
