Lyrics

Jesus, sweet jesus if you're listening
Can you pass me to your pa
I'm having a hard time understanding
Why he's so cruel and demanding
With his love

Darling, sweet darling keep whispering
I'll find you through this din
Sitting and watching
Two flames busy dancing
To our love

Grab on to this moment, inhale it
And hold it inside
Savour its sweetness
Yearn for the slide

Jesus, sweet jesus if you're listening
Can you pass me to your pa
I'm having a hard time understanding
Why he's so discriminating
With his love
