What Love Can Do

There’s a pillar in the temple where I carved your name;

there’s a soul sitting sad and blue

Now the remedies you’ve taken are all in vain;

let me show you what love can do,

let me show you what love can do

Darling I can’t stop the rain,

or turn your black sky blue

Well, let me show you what love can do,

let me show you what love can do

Well, now our truth lay shattered, we stood at world’s end;

as the dead sun rose in view

Well, if any of this matters, a kiss my friend;

let me show you what love can do,

let me show you what love can do

Darling we can’t stop this train,

when it comes crashing through

But let me show you what love can do,

let me show you what love can do

On the bench you lie on all it’s nails and rust,

and the love you’ve given’s turned ashes and dust

When the hope you’ve gathered drifted to the wind;

it’s you and I now, friend, (you and I now, friend)

you and I now, friend

Here our memory lay corrupted our city lay dry;

let me make this vow to you

Here where it’s blood for blood, and an eye for an eye;

let me show you what love can do,

let me show you what love can do

Here we bear the mark of Cain,

but let the light shine through

let me show you what love can do,

let me show you what love can do

let me show you what love can do,

let me show you what love can do
