Black Wire I

In my time of loving I wanted too many things to happen,
I wanted it all to come to life and just
forget about the caged in rapids,
but you never minded too much about
the sinking of that light to the bottom of the world,
in my time of loving I wanted too many things to happen and I say,

My faith's not holding me back,
and you call it a cold desire,
but the pain's still humming on the black wire
with too much love.

In my time of knowing why, too many things could happen---
you covet seas but they won't be pleased by the noise still rising
and all the while just falling away,

And my faith's not holding me back,
and you call it a cold desire,
but the pain's still humming on the black wire
with too much love.

There's too much love
honey in my hand, I wanted roses
but the old man says that they're just out
of reach like it all,

And my faith's not holding me back,
and you call it a cold desire,
but the pain's still humming on the black wire
with too much love.

Well the bloodline speaks of my fate,
it's saying that no-one can hold on to the fire,
so the life keeps humming on the black wire
with too much love.

We'll turn it all loose upon the burning sand,
I've never known faith that's gonna take you higher,
so the light keeps humming on the black wire
with too much love.
