Sandra Dedrick - Only Love

A couple of kids went down to the movies
They didn't know the rating was X
So when the man would not let them in
They decided to taste the apple of sex

They snuck in the back door into the movie
The curtain was drawn up, there was the screen
Violet with figures all out of rhythm
All out of high school, but in their teens

There was an attraction to be an actor
Forgetting the play was only a play
They only devoured the skin of the apple
And found they were hungry day after day

Then the usher came and threw them out of the garden
Then the movie turned to rain
Only love can give the sunlight to the picture
Only light can go beyond the skin of thinking
And bring the winking children home again

Then the usher came and threw them out of the garden
Then the movie turned to rain
Only love can give the sunlight to the picture
Only light can go beyond the skin of thinking
And bring the winking children home again

A couple of kids got home tired and wet
And stood while their father took off their coats
He anointed their heads with love flowing over
And kissed them in sunlight, then they awoke
