Lover, Lover, Lover - Live Sept 24, 2009; Ramat Gan Stadium, Tel Aviv, Israel
I asked my father
I said, "Father, change my name"
The one I'm using now, it's covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
He said, "I locked you in this body"
"I meant it as a kind of trial"
"You can use it as a weapon"
"Or to make a woman smile"
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
"Then let me start again," I cried
Oh, please let me start again
I want a face that's fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm (calm)
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
"I never turned aside," he said
No, I, I never ever walked away
It was you who built the temple
It was you who covered up my face
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
You may come to me in happiness
Or you may come to me in grief
You may come to me in your deepest faith
Or you may come in disbelief
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
And may the spirit of this song
May it rise up, pure and free
May it be a shield for all of you
A shield against the enemy
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
I said, "Father, change my name"
The one I'm using now, it's covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
He said, "I locked you in this body"
"I meant it as a kind of trial"
"You can use it as a weapon"
"Or to make a woman smile"
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
"Then let me start again," I cried
Oh, please let me start again
I want a face that's fair this time
I want a spirit that is calm (calm)
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
"I never turned aside," he said
No, I, I never ever walked away
It was you who built the temple
It was you who covered up my face
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
You may come to me in happiness
Or you may come to me in grief
You may come to me in your deepest faith
Or you may come in disbelief
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
And may the spirit of this song
May it rise up, pure and free
May it be a shield for all of you
A shield against the enemy
Ah, but lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
