Wild Love Tigress - Sanctify Me

Well I caught your eye from across the room
I mistook you for a lighthouse that would lead me from the gloom
Yes you were dancing drunk and defiantly
While I was like a one-armed guitarist, fretting silently
I could see that your faith was torn
I bet your walls would all fall down if I just blow my horn
See, I been wandering through the desert sand
And now you're looking like an oasis to a dying man

You caught me looking and you know I know it
You were intrigued but trying not to show it
I bore the cross, now baby don't deny me
Come on baby, won't you sanctify me?

I said my prayers for a holy tryst
And then crossed the floor to you to receive my eucharist
My soul was steeled in firm belief
As I begged in supplication for my sweet relief
My seventh drink caught me unawares
And my eyes began to blur as we went up the stairs
As darkness fell, I felt the angels' breath
And baby you read the Last Rites over my little death

I caught you peeping and I know you know it
Immersed in thirst but trying not to show it
I bore the cross, now baby don't deny me
Come on, baby, won't you sanctify me?

The flood is rising and I know you know it
I was ashamed, but trying not to show it
I bore the cross, now don't you vilify me
Come on, baby, won't you sanctify me?
